Deets After Dark

Sep 29 2009
I wish Amazon was a bit more honest with their Kindle book pricing. The Digital List Price is a made up price. The Print List Price is something no store actually charges. So the true savings is something well short of those two figures. In this particular case, the hardcover is $14.94, so the actual savings is $2.99.
Of course, the reasons for buying Kindle versions is generally speed or convenience more than price (at the same price, I’d still take the Kindle option), so why they create artificial savings is beyond me.
