I have to agree with Jon on this. Once Amazon drives all other ebook reading devices out of the market because they can not get any ebooks in their formats, then Amazon can charge whatever they want for ebooks. It's bad enough now with the special deals they make on prices. Another post showed the Kindle version of "Zoe's Tale" to be $9.99. All other ebooks were above $17, some near $20. I can buy the hardback for $20 and Barnes and Nobles. And no one without a Kindle can even buy the Kindle version, let alone read it.

Amazon is screwing the public and all their competitors just because they can afford to do so.
