It seems all big corporation (PALM, AMZN) doing this kind of things you know dept.
Thanks to Christopher Coulter for pointing me the email of Barton Gellman about the misleading hardcover information from Peanutpress on ebook pricing:
"Dear Sir or Madam (at Peanutpress)
As someone who has bought quite a few titles from Peanut Press, I want you to know why you have lost me as a customer. I've written you about this once before, without reply. Today it happened again, and that is all for me.
You sent me a promotional email. Among the titles: Carl Hiaasen's Sick Puppy. It happens I saw it in paperback today in the local bookstore and thought of buying it. Here, I thought, is the perfect Peanut Press title -- a light summer read to carry along, inexpensive and disposable. It costs $7.99 for the mass market paperback at the store, and the same at Amazon with free shipping. You are not only charging nearly twice that ($13.95), but you are claiming it is available in "Hardcover Only" to justify the price.
That is, bluntly, false. Nor is it the first time. Another of several examples I've found: You still describe Janet Evanovich's One for the Money as "Hardcover Only," and charge accordingly, and yet it has been a $6.99 mass paperback since 1995!
I am very disappointed in the way you do business. I would have been a high volume customer of fairly priced books at paperback prices. I doubt I will ever buy ebooks at hardcover prices, certainly not from a merchant using subterfuge to promote sales."
Yours, Barton Gellman
