$2.39 for a book from the 1500s? June 22, 2008
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
Assuming copyright law hasn't gone totally haywire since I last checked, Amazon is asking money for something in the public domain. This book is almost 500 years old. It belongs to the culture at large. So what does this $2.39 cover? Packaging and distribution? Can't be. This is a digital copy so there are no associated costs.
For the end consumer, you are better off going to Project gutenberg (google it) then running the free version through the Mobipocket creator or using Amazon's DRM email serivice.
Sorry, one last admonishment... Almost done... Shame on you amazon for charging money for part of our cultural commons.
