The Most Expensive Kindle Books of 2014 (Nonfiction and Fiction)
Having wealth gives you privileges–including the ability to buy the most expensive Kindle books on the planet. If the highest price is your true goal, you should start by purchasing nonfiction:
International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences: $16,870 ($.97/page)
At just under a dollar per page, this encyclopedia is a steal. While the hardback version costs $12,000 less, the Kindle version is infinitely superior, because it means you can have a lightweight-yet-comprehensive encyclopedia as your constant companion.
Encyclopedia of Language & Linguistics: $11,850 ($1.32/page)
According to editorial reviewers, this book is “breath-taking.” It is also the same price I paid for my first car.
Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations II: $10,070 ($1.57/page)
Written by 144 specialists, it’s possible this book may even contain the secret to understanding women. That in itself is worth reading 6000 pages for.
Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II: From Biology to Nanotechnology: $7,823.99 ($.82/page)
This book was published in 2003. I’d like you to imagine how much this book would cost if the info on nanotechnology weren’t over a decade old.
Treatise on Geochemistry, Ten Volume Set: 10 Volume Set: $6,559.99 ($.84/page)
If you’re not sold on the fact that it’s a Ten Volume Set, maybe you’re sold on the fact that it’s a 10 Volume Set!
Collier on Bankruptcy: $6,399.20 or $6,212.80 per volume; or get all 28 volumes for $178,059.20 (mystery per page price)
My best guess is that the first line of every volume is “So, now that you’re bankrupt.” Even if you have millions to burn, I recommend sampling the one cheaper Collier on Bankruptcy volume before you buy the full set. You can purchase Collier on Bankruptcy Taxation for only $283.99.
Let’s shift to the most expensive fiction Kindle books of 2014:
Antología Poética de los Siglos XVI y XVII: $5,611.20 ($10.96/page)
Obviously the 16th and 17th centuries were good for Spanish poetry—they’re charging $10.96 a page! Or if you’re completely old-fashioned you can buy the paperback for under $20 (though we will judge you for it).
Ma belle-mère et moi !: $606.64 ($13.19/page)
If you don’t speak French, then what better way to learn than through reading a French comic? Surely it’s more effective than Rosetta Stone…
The Crime Quintet: $200 ($2.63/page)
Just think–you could be the very first person to review (or read) this book.
DETANRACNI: $200 ($1.60/page)
It’s a love story with a horror twist. And it features the Bermuda Triangle. Clearly no more needs to be said.
Sinderella: $200 ($100/page)
This book is only 2 pages long, but the cover is clearly worth $200 on its own.
Now if only someone would leave me an inheritance so I could start buying.
