In mystery I can pay $27.95 for Someone to Kill by Kurt Corriher at Fictionwise or $1.98 from Amazon (3rd party).
It is unfair to compare eBook prices to that of used book prices. Plus, you didn't add in the mandatory shipping that you also have to pay. So that $3.95 book could easily be over $6 after you add in shipping.
