Do we have different internets? Are you in another country?

Could be, could be. Clicked your link, and this is going to lose all formatting when pasting, but I'll highlight the important bits.

It's not that hard, buddy.

1: Open amazon.com
2: Type in name of book. Say, 'fifty shades of grey'.
3: Boggle at the fact that the Kindle version is $12.51 while the paperback is $9.57.

More examples? Stephen King's recent book 11/22/63 is $13.59 paperback, $16.41 kindle.

One of my favourite Star Trek TOS books, Rules of Engagement, is $11.61 kindle. Two cents used. This is a book that I read in 1990. The cost to make it a kindle version was, at most, two hours for somebody to sit down and type it in from a paperback copy.

Short of raping an unconscious smoke inhalation victim, I can't think of anything that could get a fireman in trouble.

Your Honor, there I was, giving her mouth-to-mouth, and she was totally sending me signals that she liked it. She didn't object when I touched her chest to do chest compressions, so things just moved on naturally.....
