Lover Unleashed, aka Unkhool, Son of Ghouging Rheaders Ehverywhere
The Kindle version of JR Ward's Lover Unleashed is available for preorder at Amazon for $14.99. 15 bucks for an ebook!!!!! Thanks a lot, Penguin Publishing. This feels uncannily like Barbara Streisand charging $300 for concert tickets. Yeah, we like you, we might even love you, but gouging your fans is the ultimate in "unkhool." JR Ward and all authors who have loyal, steadfast fans, please stand up and say something to your agents, your publishers, and your readers. We don't deserve this.

Hi Susinok! Fans of JR Ward can refuse to pay this much money for an ebook and wait until (A) the book comes out in paperback at a cheaper price, or (B) the Kindle price drops. It is still supporting your favorite author, but also sending a message to the publisher that exorbitant prices for ebooks are not acceptable to the consumer. The only way the price will fall is if sales decrease for books priced so high. Publishers who are pricing their books this high are taking advantage of digital readers and fans.
Susinok - Authors do have power, they do not have the final say but they can make their thoughts and wishes known to their agents and publishers.no one is going to pay this - lets all be honest here. Ebook prices do NOTHING for an authors standing on the NYTimes best sellers list - so paying that disaster of a price doesnt even support the author.
I will wait till a paperback comes out (Hardbacks are between 30-40 bucks in Aussie)
The record company/ticket sellers, and in this case the publishers are the ones being greedy. J. R. Ward has no say in it.
I don't like the price, either, but I'll support my favorite authors. No support means fewer sales which leads to fewer books, something I do NOT want.
