This does not compute.

Over on Amazon, Janet Evanovich's reissue of HERO AT LARGE is $9.59 on the Kindle.  In plain ole paperback, it's $7.99.

If I order it on Fictionwise, it's $11.99 (not counting discount).

What gives?  I thought e-prices were supposed to be CHEAPER.  Whereas this is telling me that driving down to the local B&N would be less costly.

Are ebooks becoming more expensive because of the convenience?

Yes, I'm a Real Author!

I keep thinking I need to write a little pamphlet that I can pass out to people who think that, just because my books are e-books and therefore not "easily accessible" in regular bookstores, I'm not a Real Author.  When will it become more widespread and therefore "generally accepted" that Real Authors don't necessarily have to have their books in print?
It won't come soon enough for me!
