Are eBooks generally more pricey on the Nook versus the Kindle?

[ann713]

This is actually the deal-breaker for me, any suggestions welcome. It seems that books for the 'Nook' is 2x the price to that of a book on a 'Kindle'.

Current NYT bestseller top 5:

The Help Amazon $9.99 B&N $9.99

Hit List Amazon $12.99 B&N $12.99

Water for Elephants Amazon $4.17 B&N $9.99

State of Wonder Amazon $12.99 B&N $12.99

The Kingdom $12.99 B&N $12.99



So, out of the top 5, 4 of them are priced the same by Amazon and B&N. Perhaps you could give us some examples to illustrate your complaint.

I believe the publisher usually sets the price, and the price is usually the same anytime I've tried to check.

That said ... I love my Kindle But I don't have a Nook to compare it to.
