For example
Gates of Fire
Kindle: $6.39
Nook: $7.99
The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier's Education
Kindle: $9.99
Nook: $14.99
Sookie Stackhouse Set
Kindle: $29.90
Nook: $51.13
Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood
Kindle: $9.99
Nook: $20.80
Kite Runner
Kindle: $9.51
Nook: $11.20
The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters
Kindle: $9.99
Nook: $9.99
The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives
Kindle: $9.99
Nook: $12.00
Do you think that B&N will lower their prices to match or is this the price of their ebooks because they able to be read on multiple devices (pc, mac, bb, iphone, etc)

I looked up every book here again today and every single one, with the exception of Kite Runner which was 25 cents more, was price matched to the kindle store.
I also did some searches for other books that had previously been more expensive on the BN ebook store like the
Lord of the Rings pack and it's actually priced lower than Amazon. In fact, Kite Runner is the only book that I've found that isn't either price matched or lower on the BN store now.
