$19.99 for a Kindle version of the new adult J K Rowling book to be released in September is IMHO ridiculous.
I am not eager to see more at this price.

Melodie (melodieco) | 3679 comments Ridiculous doesn't even BEGIN to describe this!! Highway robbery??? Extreme ripoff??? $20.00 and you have essentially nothing to show for it?? Not in this lifetime.....or any other one!

Ann (annrumsey) | 16956 comments I am number 63 on the library hold list and still shaking my head and questioning the Kindle price. Highway robbery indeed, Melodie!
How do we even know how the author of Harry Potter will translate to an adult book?

Sherry  | 4522 comments ken follett's sequel to fall of giants- winter of the world- is also priced at $19.99. i hope that by the time it's released, that price comes down significantly
