The 3 links that were provided were priced BELOW $200.
Considering that the lowest price found was $96, it's STILL better than the $244 that you said that was the minimum price around and "can't be found for less."

Ebooks are, of course, different from Hard Copy books and can be priced much lower.

You have a few options that I can see:
1. Contact the Publishing Company of the book to find out if You can purchase it direct at a discount, and/or, IF they have it in ebook / downloadable format at a lower price,
OR
2. Go to Joe's Local Library and find out if they have some sort of system where the book can be ordered from another library (IF it is in their library system, of course.)

Not sure what state that you're in, but, chances are, IF it's near a big city, the book (if it's in circulation,) can be ordered for rental (and probably without a fee.)

Best of Luck.
