They don’t cost anything to print and you can’t hold them in your hands.

So readers may well feel aggrieved that they are paying far more for ebooks than for many hardback
versions of their favourite titles.

A survey of bestselling fiction and non-fiction sold by online retailer Amazon has found that in more
than a third of cases ebooks are priced higher than the same books in hardcover.

Experts and consumers are outraged, saying that, if anything, electronic versions should be far cheaper
because they cost nothing to print, store or transport.

The findings are also all the more controversial as they come after a landmark European Union ruling
that publishers may have illegally colluded to raise ebooks prices.

The survey of Amazon sales found the biggest differences in price were for non-fiction titles.

Comedian David Mitchell’s autobiography, titled David Mitchell: Back Story, is available for pre-order as
an ebook for £12.99 - almost 30 per cent more than the price of £10 for the hardback version.
