I have a Nook and I love it. What I don't love are the prices that most booksellers charge for a download. I'll use Harlequin as an example.
A Presents novel retails for $4.75 and with discounts either at the site or at a bookseller or other store, they usually run about $3.80.
What is the ebook price?
$3.40
The list price on the ebook is $4.20
Seriously?
The paper etc only costs 50 cents?
That just feels so very wrong to me. There's a bigger difference in the price of a CD download than a book.
Does this make sense to any of you?

Yes, I know. I have YET to buy an e-book. Most I have read on my new sony e-reader are with for review or off Net Galley which are for review too. Definitely check out NetGalley if you haven't. You can always try and find an e-book company to use for book reviews. I too just can't see paying only a small differance for an e-book to a book.
I don't know if it's the same over there, but here in UK there isn't VAT (tax) on paper books, but there is on digital downloads and an e-book is a digital download. Annoying, but that's the reason for it over here.
