I spot checked a few things I’m reading, they’re about 20-50% more expensive. It kind of looks like they’re just a new front end for Barnes & Noble, but with worse curation
You can also go directly to the publishers and save a couple of bucks.
I’m down for paying a bit more at a local retail store, or maybe even a few percent on an online store. But I have to pay $47.24 for Dune, I’m probably just going to pirate it.
Understandable. FWIW members (15 USD/month at this time) get a discount and the option to use one of the credits you get each month. So Dune can be had for 14.99. I get the pricey books with credits, others I use the discount for. It’s a bit odd and I don’t love memberships, but I do want to support ownership models where they still exist.
If you share access with friends and family using a self-hosted audiobook server then the value really sky-rockets.
