I think the pricing is reasonable considering what the program
offers.
A few years ago I purchased Birds of Tropical Asia 3 (
http://www.birdsounds.nl/index.php?pg=productoverviewitem&id=254
) which is a software program for windows. It is a simple program
which provides calls of 900+ species, and photos of almost 500
species from the region, along with the ability to sort by location
and export the files. It is currently priced at €79.99 euros (a bit
more than what I paid back then) but the point is it's a niche
product and I'd expect it to be priced accordingly. In this case the
product represents a unique collection of media resulting from years
of field work by the author and others.
In the case of the PKBA Digital Edition, we are talking about a
superior program in many ways to the aforementioned, with what must
be somewhere between 700-800 species calls available at present,
photos for most of the 900+ species, outstanding illustrations by
Frank Knight, as well as all the field guide data, identification
and similar species modules, and powerful listing tools for personal
and location lists.
For me, the PKBA Digital Edition is in a class of it's own and
definitely worth the $69.95.
