Amazon - Paul Allen memoir
I have had Paul Allen's memoir Idea Man on my wish list for a while. It was just released as a paperback for $9.99 but the Kindle version is still $19.99, even higher than the paperback. This is a first for me. Can anyone with a US IP check if you have the same pricing_

Sadly, it is $19.99, more than either the paperback or hardback.

It's a Penguin title and they seem to have to most expensive pricing of all agency publishers overall.

It's a library book here. Want me to check it out, read it, and then tell you how it ended?

Thanks for the input. Appreciate it, frustrated, but at least it is confirmed. So much for the DoJ break up

I feel for you. I love memoirs and non fiction books, but they often seem to be quite a bit more. I paid over $30.00 once for one in kindle format just because I wanted to read it so bad. (The paper book was even more in this case) Hopefully they'll lower the price for you soon.

I also like bios and non-fiction books. Prices are sometimes cheaper on booksonboard or Kobo (using a coupon code) than on Amazon, so shopping around is worthwhile.

Same price on BooksOnBoard. Penguin is not in the mood for reasonable pricing, I guess.

Alas UK Amazon is only £6 (5.99 if you want accuracy) again one of those strange anomalies in the world of publishing.

In India Kindle store it's 11.79$.
P.S. It's a really inspiring read though...

That is fairly close to the £5.99 I paid at UK Amazon. Guess they were just dragging their feet. Thanks for the pointer.
