That's atrocious and something I really dislike. I personally believe that ebooks should be cheaper - by subtracting the cost it takes to print the paper books (and that should be the maximum price).
- JeanMarcS 8y agoCost to print, but also cost to stock (I worked with a small publisher for years, and they had to rent a big storage facility for their stock), the cost to ship, etc. These are marginal when selling ePub, and yet it’s still expensive in France. Wanna know something even more stupid ? Most of the time, you can’t buy them from out of France ! I don’t know if this is still true, but two years ago I tried to buy ePub online and couldn’t because I was not in France. Fun fact ? I was living in the Caribbean on a French island (Guadeloupe), which is run on French laws and administration.
