It looks to me as if Penguin may be setting prices to discourage ebook sales. Are they doing this to encourage paperback sales?
On 4/25 I mentioned one title for which the ebook price was much more than the paperback price. The paperback edition of Maelstrom by Taylor Anderson, was available in B&N or Border stores for $7.99, but the ebook price from suppliers other than Amazon was $18.99.
The paperback has been out long enough so that used copies now show up on line for less than $5.00. You would expect the ebook price to come down. But instead, it went up, way up, to $24.95. I don't know if this was an error. If it is not, it would appear that Penguin does not want an ebook version of this title to be sold. Is this possible?
