Interesting OT thread built-in to this one, to bad it cannot be pruned to its own thread. hmmm.....

Anyway, I like the original idea of this thread to give us an indication of which stores are offering better-than-average prices on digital content. I for one feel that books shouldn't cost anywhere near the physical copy's price, let alone a HB version price (yikes!). Maybe an easily accessible thread can be stickied somewhere that references who has the latest top sellers at the best prices, that way new users (and old) can immediately see which place to go check first for whatever they are looking for? I guess it would have to be easily updated and navigable so everyone can provide input and not just one person is doing all the legwork. Perhaps, if it cannot be hosted on a thread basis, maybe there's some other format that makes for easy view-ability and updates?

Just some thoughts. Who knows, perhaps by doing so we can slowly influence industry by driving people to sites with more realistic/reasonable prices, and thereby indirectly force others to compete and adjust their prices as well. If anyone wants to argue against such a statement, I say nothing ventured nothing gained.
