Picking a book at random on their web site:
You On a Diet
The Owner's Manual for Waist Management
by Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz MD
eReader.com price: Sale Price: $16.99 Newsletter Price: $15.29
Amazon.com price: $13.75 (Hardcover no less!)
Not what I would call a "good price". An eBook should be no more than 50% the cost of the PAPERBACK version of the pBook. So a "good" cost at eReader.com should be less than $7.00.
And when you add DRM to it, the value drops even less. But that's another story...
