Looking at the prices of the kindle editions of the below books,<p>Distributed Algorithms ($100) - <a href="http://amzn.to/glJVKv" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/glJVKv</a> Algorithm Design Manual ($61.72) - <a href="http://amzn.to/f9G0KD" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/f9G0KD</a><p>They are about $10 less than the physical book. Doesn't it cost them far less to produce, store, transport a digital version? I wonder how much of this goes to the author.
