  1. This is f()&^(& ridiculous....

    Just went to look up a new book, based on a recommendation from an author whose opinion I find to be pretty good.

    But when I went and looked up this book, I found the following prices:

    Amazon: $9.40
    B&N: $28.49
    eBooks.com: $28.49

    Freaking insanity. In what world is an eBook price the same as a hardcover edition of the book? How in the hell is Amazon still getting away with this kind of market manipulation bullshittery.
