I'm TOTALLY on board with this, and I hope the word gets out on other Kindle discussion boards. I want to read the Brook Astor book by Meryl Gordon, and it's $15.40!

As others said, the $9.99 pricing was a big selling point to me and justified me spending 400 bucks on what is essentially a luxury item. As soon as Amazon sees that Kindle users are going to pay more, the $9.99 price point will be completely gone. And it's bs that some have said it's a publisher decision. Even if that was the case, Amazon should not agree to carry books at a higher cost.

Jeff Bezos sat there on Oprah talking about the $9.99 what, 8 weeks ago? And thousands of Kindles were sold after her endorsement. Shame on Amazon for the price increases. Let's do it: BOYCOTT KINDLE BOOKS OVER $9.99!

And I re-post. Amazon NEVER promised all books would be $9.99.

"Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available, including 103 of 110 books currently found on the New York Times® Best Seller list. New York Times Best Sellers and most new releases are $9.99, and you'll find many books for less."
