@pwalker8 - I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I can only look at the price of the other two books in that trilogy and the price of the others in the series, and indeed the price of the ones he has published since the ebook in question ... plus of course, the paperback book prices. None, except perhaps the final ebook in his final chapter of the overall series, has had an expensive price anything like it ... and the latest ebook is still a pre-order. Then there is the huge difference between what Americans paid and what Aussies were expected to pay.

Clearly something is or has been going on. Perhaps an experiment, perhaps making up for losses in the physical book world, or perhaps just waiting until enough physical books have been sold ... maybe the publisher stuffed up and over-ordered.

Who knows really. What I do know, is that the customer is the one being impacted, and most of the customers would be fans, so a pretty poor, dare I say unethical way to treat them, after all the support they have given. I find it quite immoral really, as we all know how weak and desperate many readers can be. Yes, they are pathetic and sad to be that way, but they are still being taken advantage of.

One also needs to look at the fact, that Terry Brooks ebooks have gone on sale during that 3 year period ... perhaps not in AUS, and certainly not here for the ebook in question.

One of the ironies that abound, and not just in the book world, is the fans usually pay the high prices, and everyone else later gets the product for a steal. In a very real way, the fans are supplementing the purchases made by latecomers. Ethically at least, that is not right, as you are overcharging the ones who support you the most.
