Why does the pdf version cost more than the paperback?

Good question.

In the Lulu interface I have the prices set at $15 for the print book and $9.99 for the PDF/ePub versions. It appears that something weird happened with EUR and USD. Originally I had these priced in EUR and switched currencies.

Apologies for that, I've reset everything and it looks right now.

I'd really like an answer to this. It greatly annoys me when I see this type of thing and it always pisses me off so much that I usually forego getting the book. Perhaps I'm over reacting, but to me, it indicates a lack of respect for the audience. Are we so stupid 1) we won't notice, and 2) we can't figure out mailing a physical thing has to have more overhead than the digital copy?

That is exactly how I feel. I was literally about to purchase the book but that changed my mind.
