Resting in suspended Animation
Anyone got a link to availability stats, indicating what books are, aren't available and if they're limited to certain e-formats?
It's a good question MacB. I haven't seen one. I only really know you can buy them at waterstones, penguin, whsmith and amazon (just interested). Waterstones seemed to be the worst by a country mile in terms of price selling many at full RRP hardback price which is more than others sells the hardback books for. Unfortunately there were rather a lot available in epub sold on either penguin/waterstones site apparently not available in kindle format or sold on other sites. I'm mostly interested in the cashing in of what should really be budget titles.
For example nineteen-eighty four which will go out of copyright here according to some people in around 10 years time apart from the kindle fiasco a while back has the totally ludicrous cashing in:-
£4.64 in kindle format
£8.99 in epub from Penguin
£2.14 from WHSmith in epub but another version is sold cheaper than elsewhere at £7.01
£8.48 for the same version in EPUB DRM from Waterstones
