I ended up in a whole gray area with one book I wanted. While searching via the nook, I found a medical thriller I was interested in -- To the Bone by Neil Mcmahon, published by HarperCollins. The e-book has a list price of 11.99 and sells for $9.59. But it turns out it originally came in 2004. Suspicous about the price, I checked some more and realized there was a mass market paperback edition. But I looked more into it and realized the mass market edition is out of print. I could buy the used paperback for a penny (plus shipping & handling), but the only edition "in print" is the electronic one.

Or I could just give up and buy a Robin Cook or Michael Palmer e-book for around $6.79.
