Trying to source a book
I hope this is the right forum, I couldn't find anywhere else that this would seem suitable...
I have been looking for "The Better Mousetrap" by Tom Holt for a while. I know that Waterstones and WHSmith have it, but in both cases, it is more expensive to buy the E-book than it is to buy the Hardback. I refuse to pay more for a digital copy than a physical copy! So, could anybody let me know if there is anywhere I might be able to get this elsewhere? Most of the sites I have checked don't seem to have any Tom Holt available Thanks in advance... |

They are selling it in ePub format. And they are the two biggest ePub sellers right now (BoB a distant third). So I would guess that it will be a while before other stores have it. The publisher might not want to sell in other formats.
You could try writing to the publisher to complain about the price. |

Thanks,
I have already sent a mail to the publisher (Orbit) asking about the price and asking them why they are charging more for the Ebook that the HB.... |
