Earn FREE Amazon Coins!

Even though those grocery items are a bit overpriced and I rarely use android apps; I'm having a hard time resisting ~$3 for a grocery item and $3 in coins.

I actually found a few I didn't have. And I was very excited to see Splashtop, I've been waiting for this to be free.

One of today's free apps, The Muscular System Manual: The Skeletal Muscles of the Human Body, is usually priced at $64.99!

I didn't know they made apps that expensive.

I notice it says Elsevier on the app image, they're a big academic & scientific publisher (think the journals scientists publish in), so this is probably targeted at med school students, and overpriced like... well, like everything Elsevier publishes. You should see what they charge libraries for journal access nowadays. And Elsevier gets nearly all the labor free! The papers submitted are written and researched by researchers (mostly at universities), then other researchers peer review papers for free, and most journals charge researchers to publish their papers as well. (And keep in mind most of the money they earn comes from the public, through salaries to researchers at public universities, and those same universities having to pay through the nose to get library access to the journals too.)

So basically, the app's just another in a long line of greedy scams from Elsevier so the price is no surprise. I'm actually surprised it's under $100.

I've had some, like Epocrates (a professional drug info program) that used to charge your yearly subscription through the app store. So there would be the free one (which gives a lot of basic info) and the pro one which would be around $100 (it was a long time ago so I don't remember the price exactly).

Looks like you have to have a premium sub now, which goes for $159.99 a year. Doesn't look like they charge it through the app store any more (at least for Android), as the app doesn't have any billing permissions.

That looks like something that'd be worth it, at least for medical professionals.

Try Lexicomp; that's even more expensive.

I know.... But Lexicomp is much better than Epocrates, so that is what I am switching to now. They have a 30% off coupon active now and if you pay for 2years you get the third for free. Merry Christmas to me!

Cool

We have an annual education fund that we can use to pay for things like Lexicomp, seminars, conferences, etc. So if you didn't go to any of the conferences, you had enough to cover a pretty robust multi-year Lexicomp package.
