Mike, Brian - I consider them greedy because they price is very high for a classic, and way out of line with the prices of other classics. For the paperback to be priced at $10.40 and the eBook to be priced at $9.99, doesn't that seem out of line, driven by greed? Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of supply & demand. But I suspect the price is high because this is assigned reading to a lot of school kids. School kids order it because they have to. Amazon knows this, and has decided to screw them on the price.
Just because their business will (apparently) tolerate this doesn't make it right.
Lastly, I'm hoping that this thread makes us hesitate just a moment before paying full price for something that ought not to be full price.
If it is OK with you, then by all means pay the $9.99.
Brian - I love how you revised your post to add that last line 1 minute after Mike posted. Thanks for the library tip though, it is a good one. We shouldn't forget that old stand-by, while we still have it.
