The moderator of the Stephen King message board published this comment about the recent price war and surprising high cost of the e-book edition of Under the Dome:

From Scribner:
.ABOUT THAT UNDER THE DOME eBOOK
.
We want to clear up a misconception that has made its way into news stories regarding the eBook of UNDER THE DOME: the ultimate price paid by a customer for a book -- whether in print or digital form -- is actually (and has always been) set by retailers. While publishers can *suggest* a list price, retailers frequently discount from that, and neither the author nor the publisher has any say over the final cost to the consumer.

[Bottom line: any news story or internet chat that emphasizes the eBook list price of UTD overlooks the likely reality that it will be sold at retail for much less].
