Preferred format: Digital
Attempted place of purchase:

What you did instead: Bought a different book
Comments: $12.99 for the ebook or $7.99 for the paper book. I don’t buy paper anymore so this equals a no sale for me. I won’t pay MORE than the paper book cost for the digital book.

It took Hachette 6 months to lower the price of Naamah’s Kiss in ebook once it was released in mass market paperback. So perhaps 6 months from now it will be available for less.
Unfortunately, the ebook will probably be priced the same as the mass market paperback and won’t be lendable.
