That's not fair. If Apple can't dominate a market, then they should be provided with an equal playing field where they dictate the terms.

Ain't that the truth?! In the last 6 months, I've had 3 "new-and/or-improved" tools rolled out at work...and none of them work for shite! And I'm fairly comfortable with technology. People around me who are still getting used to using a computer are completely lost.

(And yes, I think BoB's website sucks).

No, it's really, really not! What I did was go to the Harper Collins website and look at their list of "featured authors" to get some idea of which books might be discounted.

Here are their featured authors: http://www.harpercollins.com/Author/Authors.aspx

And here's the whole list of authors:
http://www.harpercollins.com/Author/Browse.aspx
The notable books section of the HarperCollins wiki page might be another place to check. I've seen quite a few of those mentioned in the discount thread on Amazon.

Not that it's any use to me up here in Canada. *sulks*

Awesome! I've had Kelley Armstrong"s The Calling on my wish list for a while. It was $8.35 on Books on Board, but I did a little searching and found it on Google Books (epub) for $8.02.

If Penguin would follow suit, I could clear out my wish list.

This is getting interesting. Prices for HarperCollins ebooks on iTunes are lower than at other booksellers. Wouldn't it be ironic if Apple becomes a catalyst for lower prices?

A Father First

Amazon: $10.94
B&N: $10.94
Books on Board: $11.39
Apple: $9.99

The Prisoner of Heaven

Amazon: $9.99
B&N: $13.99
Books on Board: $10.63
Apple: $7.99

Well, Tim Cook isn't Steve Jobs.
And Apple *can* afford to discount the ebooks they sell:

They probably don't want iPxxx customers getting used to buying from BoB.

I think it is great. I won't buy books from Apple since they cannotbe liberated but it is nice to see the competition.

I just tried using a discount code on a HarperCollins book at Kobo and received the "publisher restrictions" message telling me that codes couldn't be used. I'm sure that when Kobo renegotiates their contracts with HC the prices of their books will drop and we'll be able to start using discount codes for HC books.

Sounds like it.
So why the "apple hate" monkey?
Ornery contrarian-ness?

The new Justin Halpern book, I Suck at Girls, is down to $8.02 for the a/v enhanced version at Amazon. Was $12.99 previously.

Type in what you want to search for and put ebook at the end of the search and it will only show eBooks. Simple really.
