This week, Barnes and Noble appears to be the most affordable again, even taking into consideration the extra book they don't have available as compared to Amazon. Nobody offers "All Things At Once", and both Barnes and Noble and Sony fail to carry "The Checklist Manifesto". Anticancer really put Sony in a bad position, it sells for almost double the price of Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

One last odd thing, as of this writing, Anticancer is listed twice in eBook format at Barnes and Noble - once for $9.99 and once at $14.18 so buyer beware!
