Ah, that might explain it then. Although, I would think it would be the new books that cost more, not books that are 22-14 years old.
Honestly, it's not the fact that some of the E-Books are $8.99 that has me annoyed, it's the fact that it's old books that are being priced there.
Well, that argument really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How old a book is or how much it cost on its first printing doesn't and shouldn't have anything to do with what it costs later. If you use that argument, The Hobbit could probably be had for 30 to 50 cents (or less) when it was first published. I certainly don't think any reasonable person buying a new copy today would expect the publisher to sell it for that.
Plain and simple, old ST pb used to sell for $3.99, $4.99, $5.99, what have you. As they're reprinted, they're likely going to be priced at whatever the current going rate is, not what it was originally priced at in 1984 or 1992. That just seems like common sense to me.
