The price at the Edge store is $18.99, while Amazon's HARDCOVER price is $17.99. Amazon's Kindle version is $14.79. It astonishes me that publishers honestly think they can sell an electronic copy of a book at _more_ than hardcover prices.
This market is completely upside down.

Curious, I checked Inkmesh to
see the prices. BooksOnBoard has it in PDF and ePub for the same price as the Kindle; the Sony Store has it for the same price as Entourage; Lulu eBooks and eBooks.com have it at $26.95.
