Now when it's a new Stephen King, while I don't *like* a higher price, he's such a big draw that it makes sense that a publisher would jack the price up for a while.

However, Virginia DeBerry has a new novel released this week. Never heard of her? Not a problem. eReader has all three of her novels available. The new one runs $14.99 - the older two have been jacked up to $14.00!

I'm feeling the urge to darknet, I swear I am!

P.S. What *really* makes no sense is the number of new Young Adult titles that have been put through the Price-Jack-O-Matic machine!
Yes. This is what a large percentage of us expect. Higher prices on almost all books - no lowering of old stuff.

A book I bought 6 weeks ago at $12 is now $16.40.
