I wounder as more people figure out this is a $15 book will they balk at buying the book. You can get the book cheaper at the following locations$10 @ B&N $8 @ AMZN.
Anyhow have fun all I'll join you all on the next read.

I'm not sure I understand this. I just looked at Amazon, and it is $7.99 at Amazon whether we buy the paperback or Kindle Edition.
Paperback
Kindle Edition
Since it is the same price, why not just buy it from Amazon, and if you don't think it is worth keeping, donate it to your local library later? Shipping is free too.
Also, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that although production costs are higher for paper books, that Amazon and/or the publisher made less money by being greedy with the Kindle price.
Still not worth it? If not, I have to presume that you are just mad it is not available for $8 on your particular reader
I'm going to buy this one as my first non-public domain book. Much as I love Dickens, the Old English is a lot more demanding to read than modern stuff.
I may even just buy the paperback to hit them a bit for being greedy. If we all did this, they would eventually make the eBook prices lower than print. If we continue to buy eBooks even though they are priced the same or higher, we're telling them that the extra convenience is worth money to us.
