I'm impressed with the price. Here in Canada, The Girl on the Train is $17.97 for the paperback (which I can only assume is in the Trade Paperback format, not Mass-Market Paperbound). It's an Agency book, so both Kindle and Kobo versions are $9.99.

It's annoying when a p-book gets discounted below the price of the e-book. But I've reached the point that if the e-book is competitive with the normal price of the p-book, I'm ok with it. (Most of the time these days I find the e-book is priced the same or slightly cheaper than the SRP of the MMPB).
