Comments on: eBook pricing update: where have my favourite authors gone? http://gonedigital.net/2010/10/25/ebook-pricing-update-where-have-my-favourite-authors-gone/ Nigel Whitfield’s digital TV & technology blog Fri, 18 May 2012 16:23:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nigel http://gonedigital.net/2010/10/25/ebook-pricing-update-where-have-my-favourite-authors-gone/comment-page-1/#comment-1889 Nigel Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:31:06 +0000 http://gonedigital.net/?p=774#comment-1889 Good news - checking today, at least some of these missing books (the Ian M Banks titles) are back on sale in ePub format, so I shall have to compare prices again. It's been suggested to me that the reason for their temporary absence was an inability on the part of some of the stores to properly restrict sales based on territory.

I'd be interested to see what the equivalent in dead trees is for each store as well.. maybe compiled into a small table to make it easy to compare :-D I'm still astounded that the books sometimes come out more expensive in eBook format, but I'm wondering how it works out with your 20, and whether what I'd randomly seen is just an anomaly.
