The print version is $31.49 + shipping. The Kindle version was $28.34, no shipping, delivered to my device in less than a minute. The difference in technical books is not a lot, but it is less expensive for Kindle. More interesting are "Best Seller" type books. Most of these sell on Amazon for around $25, but the Kindle price is always $9.99! Factor in shipping and you could save about 2/3rds over the print version. Hi Kevin,
