So you have a silly price for the Kindle version and people who read on a Kindle don't usually buy hardcovers are more money. So of course sales are going to tank. Publishers are too stupid to realize that agency doesn't work. Saless are showing that agency is failing. So why not go back to real prices. I do think that End of Watch would sell better if the Kindle version mwas $9.99 and the hardcover $14.99. But the MMPB is also a stupid price. People are used to $7.99 to MMPB, not $9.99. The MMPB should be $7.99 and the Paperback $9.99. Then the eBook can drop to $7.99 on March 28, 2017.
$17.99 is the Canadian price. $14.99 is just as silly.

I stopped buying a lot of e-books from big name expensive authors like that and get cheaper alternatives instead. Like I'm not paying $15 for a Nora Roberts book when I can get 3 or 4 books from Harlequin for the same price and they're just as good.
