also: They say they are 'fighting' the $9.99 price.....but they get to set the price. - adventy97 Dec 9, 06:23
Are they taking advice from the music industry? - AJRimmer Dec 9, 06:17
stupid and pointless decision -- nm - adventy97 Dec 9, 06:00 7
- I see the correlation to paperback releases. They wait on those, why not wait a bit on ebook? You don't think there are enough people that will buy - oblique Dec 9, 06:12 5
  - I don't buy hardcover (rarely) and will wait for the paperback. I'd just wait for the eBook - or will forget about it. - JaxSean Dec 9, 06:15
  - Why not release the mp3 four months after the physical album? - adventy97 Dec 9, 06:13 3
    - I'd be surprised if they didn't make more off the mp3. - mafic Dec 9, 06:16 2
      - As opposed to the printing, binding, and shipping costs of each book? - JaxSean Dec 9, 06:22 1
        
        if shipping costs mattered nothing would be made in china. - mafic Dec 9, 06:27
- Seems like that to me, too. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 06:06
