Amazon, Walmart.com price war on books

We wrote yesterday that Walmart.com was selling for $10 popular books that are due out in November, including the memoir by Sarah Palin.

Well, Amazon didn't want to be outdone and matched the price, only to have Walmart come back quickly and lower the price to $9. Now, Amazon has the books at $9 too. Shew!

The two sides seemed to have come to a truce at that $9 price for now. But we'll keep watching to see if the prices come down anymore.

Find out more information about it at the Read Street blog.

Keep lowering the price and they'll eventually get to the price that the Palin 'memoir' is actually worth: 25 cents.
