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.

Sorry, but no.
What
other products cost, to me, has no bearing on whether or not I see the pricing of
eBooks as fair and reasonable.
Your numbers are right--but I don't look at it that way.
Like I said though. A step in the right direction, no doubt. May many more like this come along in the next year or two!
