Most of you must be familiar with the phony iPhone app “I Am Rich” that did nothing except flashing the message on screen and robbing the poor fellows with a couple of thousand dollars. Well its now time for Kindle to have its share of a similar book, Nuclear Energies – which is shipping for $6,232. But Gizmodo still thinks of it to be a bargain since the list price is $7,790:

Nuclear Energies is a three-volume compendium of technical essays on energy. It is 602 pages long, but since the Kindle edition of James Joyce’s Ulysses, clocking in at 816 pages, costs less than a buck, that’s not much of an excuse. Hell, even Ron Paul’s manifesto is only $9.99, and there’s no way Nuclear Energies is more entertaining than that. But at least you’re not getting completely ripped off: list price is $7,790, so it’s sort of a bargain!
