That's why I brought it up in another post. Was the price lowered and someone forgot to tell Amazon, someone at Amazon forgot to lower the price, or the ebook price was never intended to be lower and that's why it's higher?

As I mentioned before, that's the problem with ebooks. With physical media, no one would forgot to put the correct price on because it has be to be stocked. For ebooks, I can see a price change easily forgotten because it doesn't have to be stocked with something physical. Price it and forget it.

I would hate it if it was up to the customer to remind the retailer that a lower paper version is available.
