Readers Respond To Google Indie Price Variability

Yesterday, we reported on the range of pricing from indie bookstores selling Google eBooks versus the price offered from the Google eBookstore and readers had a lot to say.

We found that for the popular title The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, prices ranged from $9.99 to $18.20, among different Google eBook vendors.
