I was recently trying to buy some books on my Kindle but I found a bunch of books I wanted that were much more expensive on Kindle then to buy the paperback.

I contacted Amazon and they advised the prices are set by the publishers. Checked out their website and it says the E-Book price is set by the publisher.

Anyone else run into this yet?
