I'm almost resigned now to purchasing my Kindle books at near retail (paperpack) prices. It appears to be nigh on impossible now to find reasonably recent mainstream(ish) popular authors at anywhere near half the price. I guess the Kindle 'model' is working out for both Amazon & many authors!

Feel free to post up any Kindle books you feel represent good value for money, in comparison with their paperback version.

Personally I am currently into near-future scifi, as well as (auto &) biographies, but for this thread anything goes . . .

The cynic in me wonders whether the publisher's were happy for vat to be introduced as an apologetic excuse to further bump up some of the. kindle pricing?!

VAT used as a partial excuse for some of the high kindle pricing.

I had it, don't know why it has lapsed TBH (could be that my card expired), but I know I miss it (delivery can make stuff a lot more expensive) and I can't justify the £49 at the moment to redo it whilst I'm not working frown (even tho I've paid more in delivery charges, £50 is still £50!)
If you ticked the option to not allow automatic renewal after one year then your Prime membership will cease, which is what I did. It is well worth doing if you order a reasonable amount & like me, want it in your grubby mitts the next day. Never had a failed delivery.
