Goodness me - columbus is right. The Alchemyst in paperback from
play.com is £4.99 including UK delivery.
And since it's a paper book, their low-value VAT exception doesn't make any difference.
Makes £5.41 for the ebook look very expensive.
Hey - come to that, you're offering that same paperback at £4.79. And now having gone to checkout to check - with free delivery!
Hmm.... £4.79 for the paperbook. And you're paying to delivery it to me.
£5.41 for the ebook - and you're paying VAT on that. ex-VAT is £4.70
Does posting the book to me really only cost you 9p? I rather doubt it. Not to mention the storage and handling costs.
I will bear you in mind when I'm (very rarely) buying paper books though!
