Comfort Eating by Grace Dent, which I'd kinda, sorta like to read, is an eye-popping $17.99 at Kindle! It's a short, humorous foodie read. Who's buying it at that price? Exactly no one, I'd imagine.
I read a lot and I'm glad to say I buy much less than I used to, but ebook pricing really has me scratching my head. At $17.99, a book would have to be something I was desperate to read and one of my top five choices on the year, say. (Although I wouldn't pay that price for anything even then. Books are pretty fungible, IMO. There's always something else to read in the meantime and I'll never get to everything I'd like to read anyway.)
It's only £1.89 at Kindle UK right now -- and that I'd pay, or the US equivalent.
Oh, well. Rant over; moving on.
