Thumbs up Coincident I sent a complaint mail about e-book pricing to Penguin just this weekend

Dear Sir,

I am an early adopter and proud owner of the CyBook Gen3 (a versatile e-book device).

For this summer I wanted to read Falcones “Cathedral by the Sea” (appropriate while going on vacation to Spain)

I find a paperback for £4.29 at Amazon.Co.Uk, but I prefer not to waste suitcase-space on books as I can now store many many books in a small device.

I spent a lot of time to find any electronic version of this title, in the end I found your site and then you insult me by (all) charging me $ 17,- for an electronic version via your website although you safe on costs for:
- Paper
- Storage
- Printing
- Distribution
- Resellers-margin
- Sales-representatives

I was prepared to pay £3 - £4 for this title as this is comparable to the price of the printed version.
Apparently you do not (yet) appreciate me as a (potential) paying customer.

Regards,
Too bad I don't like Ryan's books - but I do appreciate a honest publisher
