Cost the same as the
suggested retail price of the print version? Because for a hardcover that can be $25 or more. A retailer such as B&N, Amazon, Target, etc are allowed to offer those hardcovers and paperbacks at a discount. No discounts allowed on this set ebook pricing. When was the last time many of us purchased a hardcover book at full retail price? Before ereaders most of us got them discounted at retailers or checked them out from the library. How will it be determined what matches the price of a print version when retailers can discount print versions but not digital versions?
