Frank Herbert's Dune Series Now Available - Page 2

I'll compare it to my print copy when I get home. Interesting; is this a print only thing? My eBooks all seem to have an indented first paragraph after a new chapter.

Thanks for the info,

EDIT: The price of $7.99 is still awful, regardless of my confusion over the paragraphs.

A paragraph immediately following a chapter title, a scene change, a quoted verse, or anything of that nature, should not be indented. This is absolutely standard. The fact that many eBooks indent all their paragraphs is a (small) error, really.

Each to their own. I consider it to be a not unreasonable price, personally. Not cheap, but not outrageously expensive, either.

No, not outrageous, but for a book of its length, I think cheaper would be more acceptable. And clearly I'm biased since I already own a copy I got really cheap.

Obviously the thoughts about eBook pricing in general are probably better contained elsewhere, heh.
