I just took a look at the other books in the atlantis series, that was recently had a free offering, and the publisher wants $25 for the ebooks, the same price as for hardcover. I'm sorry. You at least get something extra for getting hardcover.

I quite agree. I actually forsee the numbers dropping further.
How long were songs 1.99 or 1.59 before finally coming down to .99?
Amazon made it a standard to have books at 9.99, and Sony has followed suit, but I see Sony dropping them even further to grab more sales, in which case Amazon will have to comply.
Hopefully we can get the price of ebooks down to that of mmpbs, at around 4.99 to 5.99 per.
This is my hope.
