Save $1,558 on Nuclear Energy (Kindle Edition) at Amazon
Who says that e-book savings don’t add up?
Found via a Mobileread forum post, Amazon has marked Nuclear Energy (Kindle Edition) down 20% from its list price of $7,790 to a mere $6,232.00—a savings of $1,558.
This appears to be a publication meant for scientists and industry professionals, which undoubtedly explains its high price point. Predictably, wags are having a field day in the “reviews” section.
All the same, an industry professional who did have to have this book and had no alternative but to buy it himself would save enough money on this single title to buy a Kindle several times over.
A friend at Stanford tells me that he can read this book for free, in the form of PDF files offered by an academic paper service to which Stanford subscribes. It is his guess that most people who read this work do so by that service, and the publisher hardly ever sells individual copies. This may be why the price is so high.
