Kindle beats Apple's closed book on choice

Get your facts right before you start quoting prices

You dug so deep you found yourself in a big black hole.

"Buy "The Fallen Angel " from amazon and it will cost you £7.19 for kindle, £5.11 in paperback"

No it won't. That book is brand new and only available in hardback where it costs £7.79 so the Kindle edition is near damn it 10% cheaper (a lot more than that if you take into account 20% VAT). The paperback edition you quote isn't available until August at which point the ebook price will be reduced to a similar point below it.

That hardback price quoted for my book is already £5.20 off the list price of £12.99. Books are 30-40% of the price they were five years ago. How's that a ripoff?
