		piquadrat on April 13, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Introducing Kindle Oasis There's a conspiracy theory going around that the nonsensical pricing for Kindle ebooks is caused by a strategy from the big publishers to make the Kindle less attractive. Their worst nightmare of an Amazon monopoly on digital distribution is becoming more and more a reality. Setting the price for Kindle editions unrealistically high is one way to fight that.

Well something definitely is screw-y with the pricing so I'd consider that theory quite plausible.
