Yesterday, Google opened the Google eBookstore to Canadians. I already have the Amazon Kindle application and the Apple iBooks application installed on my iPad. Do I really need to start another eBook library?
I thought I’d do a quick price comparison, to see if there was an advantage to using one store over the other, and here’s what I found.
| Book Title | Amazon Price | Apple Price | Google Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persuasion: A New Approach to Changing Minds by Arlene Dickinson | $ 16.96 | $ 14.99 | $ 14.99 |
| Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson | $ 20.72 | $ 17.99 | $ 17.99 |
| The Litigators by John Grisham | $ 13.49 | N/A | $ 13.49 |
| The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks | $ 12.99 | $ 12.99 | $ 12.99 |
So a quick look at four book titles would seem to show that prices are quite similar on the three eBook stores in question, although Amazon can be a little higher.
