I just don't get how they can expect to sell an ebook for three times the price of paperback in the store? Hell the hardcover at the store was only 17 dollars.

I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope they lower the prices someday. In the meantime, I still have my paper copies. And I guess the longer I wait to read the ebook versions the more I will have forgotten of the story.
