$10 is still about twice what I think is reasonable for the average light-reading book.

But, think of it this way....
Let's take a hardcover at say $25.99. Let's drop 40% off for having a Borders rewards card. Then let's ad din a sales tax of 5%. We have a grand total of $16.37. Now let's go to Sony and pay $9.99 for the same book. You've just saved 6.38. And this is on a best case scenario for the hardback. Not always will you get 40% off and some hardbacks are more than $25.99. And if you bought the hardback where there was no sales tax, you'd still be saving $5.60.
