Mr. Fry, please explain?
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Stephen Fry. The man’s a genius. I’m also a fan of eBooks (a full review of my marvellous magical Kindle will follow shortly). But this just upsets me. You’re charging me MORE for the electronic copy than the hardcover tree-killing version?

Oh, come on! This just smacks of blatant profiteering. There is NO reason for this, other than greed. Once the paper versions have been published, the cost of producing, selling and distributing electronic equivalents is almost nothing at all.
I had a similar argument with Waterstone’s recently, and it seems I’m just farting against thunder.
It would be nice if the esteemed Mr. Fry did manage to respond, but to tell the truth I doubt he’ll actually even read this. More a rant to get it out of my system than anything else. [/sulk]
