Hya Pie: I paid the same as you did (just under £10) for the ebook -- same as the hardback price at Waterstones, I think, but I've heard of £5 orders in some supermarkets. Seems some high street retailers are buying their stock from supermarkets because it's cheaper than direct from the distributor. And, of course, in this particular case, they don't have to worry about waiving the sale-or-return thing.

By the way, I'm at page 400 of the book now, and I'm disappointed. There's no suspension of disbelief, no controversy, characters are more wooden than ever and the situation itself is contrived and unlikely. Brown has fallen flat with this one, I think. I can hardly wait not to get back to it. N
