The $9.99 Kindle price is attractive for new books out in hardcover. But with delays in ebook releases and/or the $9.99 pricing, I found that waiting has the benefit of watching paper prices drop.
Its become clear the Kindle prices often do not drop along with paper pricing (and if it does, the savings is often minimal).
For the first time in 2 years, I find myself buying paper books again because of pricing.
Here are some paper books, I've purchased this month - all new, all from Amazon...all more expensive on the Kindle.

I'd rather buy ebooks but I am a firm believer that the price needs to be below what I can get it for in print.
