Well here comes the $$ factor... Nearly 50% profit! Gee seems a bit greedy to me, and that's without the service access fees. I wonder, does this come with fries, or maybe a few free book choices at least? >:) Yes we can! >:) Maybe their pricing guru's were hired from recently laid off Wall Street traders/execs explains this whopping rip off... Or maybe the price reflects the Amazon executive bonus program? Whichever no sale here. I am not that big of a sucker...
