$65 for an ebook! Horrible. I'm doing a study a right now (in fact I have a subject right now reading an ebook as I type this). The lit review for the introduction to my study shows that reading ebooks results in inferior learning and comprehension :( :( :(
It costs the company a tiny fraction to carry the ebook as opposed to the print version, it should be a tiny fraction of the cost. So now we are giving inferior products for a tiny savings. Who is the publisher? It makes me angry.
