The pricing is sometimes very odd as is availability. I wonder how much thought goes into setting prices, in fact. It can be said that those who set this up are sometimes really messed up. One series of three books (Taylor Anderson's "Destroyermen" series) has the first and third books available on the Kindle, but not the second book. I exchanged email with the author (very quick to respond BTW - a great guy) and even as the author, he was unable to correct this or even find who at the publisher (Penguin, in this case) was even responsible for fixing the problem. All three books ARE available on the Sony, BTW. What this tells me is that the publishers do not put many resources toward e-books at this time. Maybe because they do not sell the a lot or maybe because they still do not "get" ebooks, maybe both.
This series also illustrates the pricing in the sense that the Sony versions, although available, are priced between $14 and $15 where the Kindle versions are under $10...
