My Fire tablet is about a month old, so I'm assuming the book is KFX. (Is there a way to check?)

The ebook is $19.25! This is very unsettling to one who grew up with 25-cent Pocket Books. Even the educational imports from Paris with the green covers (Olympia Press, I think they were) went for less than a dollar.

Yeah, those scrawls on papyrus were a lot cheaper than eBooks, back when YOU were young, NJ.
