I am really gutted...
Whilst I very rarely use Waterstones any more, there is the odd occasion when the book I am after is either only available in the UK or Waterstones for some reason have it cheaper than the US.
Recently I wanted to purchase Q & A (Slumdog Millionaire) but on principle refuse to since it is about 65% more expensive than the paperback version. Another book I was interested in - The Gargoyle is again more expensive for the E-book version by almost double!
I have been mailing Waterstones, but their general reply is 'we are sorry you are unhappy'. On the last occasion they did say that they would forward my mail to the 'Managing Team' (whoever they are!)
Fair enough, these books are on offer, but why does the paperback get a 50% discount while the ebook only gets a 20%.
Hopefully something will be done to rectify this.
My biggest gripe is that when I bought my Sony Ebook Reader from Waterstones, I asked what the price difference was and they told me that in general the Ebook was 10% CHEAPER...
EDIT - Title is a typo, meant 'prices' - seems I can't edit the title now
