The publishers are what's wrong with the image.
I'm a big Pratchett fan too. My concern is that here in Australia we wont see his works come to the Kindle because the publisher, Randomhouse, are a bunch of twits who are running their own horribly overpriced eBook store.
Obviously, there's many other places to buy the eBook but I can't stand the way local publishers force me to buy offshore because they can't get themselves organised.
Maybe it's time to send a few tweets to authors and some paper letters to publishers. Including a list of available sources which wont net them a cent is probably in order.
