New York Times Fiction Hardcover Best Sellers for Feb. 7, 2010 - eBook Prices

Each week I compare the eBook prices of the New York Times Fiction Hardcover Best Seller list at Amazon's Kindle Store, Barnes and Nobles' eBook Store, Sony's Reader Store and KoboBooks to help determine how competitive each major eBook store is.

(1) Sales virtually indistinguishable from the title above.

(2) Title available for pre-order.

(3) This title is a Macmillan title and may be withheld due to dispute with Amazon.

(4) One item not available.

(5) Three items not available.

An interesting week, as Kobo and Sony have two bestsellers not available. Amazon and B&N are missing one, plus some are only available through pre-order. Interestingly, a Macmillan title is mysteriously absent from Amazon.
