I don't think ebooks.com is alone in this; I've noted some frankly incredible prices on the sony store too.

Yeah, that's outrageous. I wonder if anybody buys it at that price? Thinking of the big heavy books that I use a lot, I could imagine even paying a *slight* premium for a non-DRM'd digital copy, that would be portable and, if stored properly, more durable than the Dead Tree version. But more than double the price? That's nuts. And wherever you are on the planet, shipping won't cover that kind of discrepancy.
