That's why book stores are going out of business. I just bought Southern Lights by Danielle Steel at Wallmart for $5.99

I gave my coupon to someone else and will buy both as ebooks and read them on the iPad.

I guess I'm so used to $5-$7 paperbacks at Sam's/Costco that I was astounded at how expensive they've gotten in the 'real' store. So, prices will probably push me to ebooks sooner than I expected.

I'm reading 61 hours by Lee Child on Nook for iPad right now. I kinda like the look and feel. Can set my own fonts and color scheme (black letters on a pale yellow background).
