Would you pay over $6,000 for a Kindle book?

· Filed Under ebooks · Comment 

Although it might seem a ridiculous question, it is actually true! There are several books available at the Kindle store at Amazon that cost well over $6,000 dollars. Why do they cost this much? No idea: Who on earth would buy one? No idea. But they exist and are available in case you’ve got a pile of cash to spend. For example the book called “Nuclear Energy” will set you backĀ $6,232.00

What I do love about these books are the hilarious reviews they get:

The first couple of chapters were slow and went over the basics of nuclear energy that I learned in the 4th grade. However, by chapter 3, the pace really started to pick up and I could. not. put. it. down! The suspense was killing me!

I now have about half a reactor built in my backyard and am waiting a delivery from Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond to finalize the construction.

I accidently bought this when I meant to purchase the Oprah selection, The Secret….anyone want to trade?

Don’t do like me and blow your whole book buying budget is just one shot — stupid ‘Buy with One Click’ button.

I ordered this book to complete my doomsday weapon. The information is clear and well drawn-out, particularly the detail regarding the fusion of plasma energy with dark matter. My weapon was finished on schedule.

If you take the second line of every paragraph, the the first sentence, and every 13th letter of each, therein lay the recipe for Mr. Fusion!

The Amazon discount off retail gave me the financial resources to buy the family a new big screen TV.

What a deal!

I ordered this and within 3 days of light reading it disintegrated into dust. Now I have only 1/8 of my nuclear power plant built. Thanks a lot.

I just discovered a great site for anyone who has a digital ebook reader. The site is FeedBooks and it is a universal e-reading platform that is compatible with all mobile devices. This includes the Amazon Kindle ebook reader. In fact you can even use the EVDO connection to have the books delivered directly to your kindle. The books are also free. Most of them are public domain books which is great, because you can get all of the classics and more for free. In fact here is a list of the top 20 downloads from last week. And all of these are available for free and can be uploaded to your Kindle via the EVDO service. Top Downloads 1. A Stable for Nightmares 2. The Damned Thing 3. Monsieur Lecoq 4. The Kama Sutra 5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 6. The Art of War 7. The War of the Worlds 8. Pride and Prejudice 9. Dracula 10. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 11. The Count of Monte Cristo 12. I, Robot 13. Moby-Dick 14. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 15. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 16. Grimm’s Fairy Tales 17. Treasure Island 18. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 19. War and Peace 20. The Divine Comedy As you can see there are some pretty good titles in there as well. I haven’t used this service yet. But I will try to in the future and make a post about it so that the download instructions can be simplified, especially for the Kindle2. But for now you’ll have to use the guide furnished by FeedBooks.
