I noticed the same thing on Amazon the other day. In fact, one of the 
books (used) was listed at $.01, while the ebook version was $6 and 
even a standard paperback was $4 I think. Granted, you need to pay 
shipping but if you live in the US and buy $25, shipping is free.

I guess they are banking on the convenience and immediacy factor.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
