Re: Amazon Kindle settlement from Apple
Is it just me who doesn't understand why e-books are sometimes more expensive than paperbacks?
I realize a lot of the cost of a book is the payment to the author, editing, and advertising. But still. An e-book cuts out printing costs plus much of the "middle man" profits from brick and mortar book stores. So why are they still just as expensive, if not more, than a real book?
It's a rheotorical (sp?) question, but if any one has thoughts I would love to hear them.
That's a really good point. It's what the market will bear. They just don't have MY business because it is a poor value (to me) to pay more than a few bucks for an e-book. At least a fun, fictional read type of book.
Certainly some of my confusion comes from the fact that I prefer real books, anyway. So I would never pay the same or more for an e-book. But obviously a lot of people prefer e-books and I could see where it would make perfect sense for them to pay the same or more for their preference. Though, that's a difficult thought adjustment for me, lol.
I swear, give me 5 more years and I'm going to be yelling at kids to "get off my lawn".
A website I use to get free e-books is www.free-ebooks.net. You can download 5 books per month for free. Or upgrade to a paid membership with unlimited downloads. If you sign up with a free account, they will often send promotions that discount the paid membership options.
Warning. Most of the books are unknown/self published authors. You're not going to find current bestsellers here or even bestsellers from within the last few decades. Though there are many of the classics available. Probably the ones that are in the public domain now, lol.
With that said, I've found some great reads on here. There is also a ratings system by other members.
