But at the same time, Amazon’s online print sales — driven by steeply discounted hardcovers and paperbacks, which in many cases were priced even lower than the ebook editions — ALSO went up.
Show me where Amazon discounted a hardback. I want to see this book.
Because I just looked and I can find Dan Brown's Inferno going for everything from $2.75 to $19.20.
Not a one of those books has Amazon as the seller.
They all showed other sellers.

So if you will please find me these Amazon discounted books, I would love to see them.
