[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1092996, member: 24160"] I have yet to see any ebook priced even remotely close to the hardback version of the books I'm interested in. Unless maybe you're talking about the unsold copies now sitting on the shelves for $5 instead of the original $25-$35. All the current releases I've looked into buying have been 50-60% below the hardback price. As for paperbacks, it seems the ebook price is not lowered immediately upon the release of the paperback version by the ebook sellers. But, it seems it doesn't take that long for it to be lowered to match and often times $1-$2 cheaper. So, my question... Is the pricing that much different outside the U.S.? Because I'm just not seeing this repeated comment that ebooks are more expensive than purchasing the book itself. Or does everybody else wait until a book has been out for a year or so and it's at Half Price Books now. [/QUOTE]
