One thing to keep in mind about the Kindle store at Amazon is that anyone can publish anything they want there. You can put up hundreds of public domain texts and sell them for whatever price you want. You can write your own novel and self publish it. And so on. On Sony, Fictionwise, BoB, etc. you cannot do that. This doesn't account for ALL of the difference, but I wonder how much it does account for.
