I'm finally getting around to trying New Frontier and really dug the first four. But, I've found that pretty much everything before "After the Fall" and "Missing in Action" is pretty hard to find for a reasonable price. Has there been any talk of doing some New Frontier collections, similar to the DS9 relaunch collections?
New Frontier Collections?

This would be a great idea.
not to my knowledge.
I rather have new books. 
There was a hardback simply entitled Star Trek: New Frontier that collected the first four mini-novels. And the Science Fiction Book Club collected books five and six as Prometheans.
But I would bet that those are probably just as hard to find as the originals-- if not moreso!

I just checked Amazon and you can find the whole series for anything between $.01 and $6.50. Here's a list of the books.
Wow, that is really crappy. On eBay, you can combine orders (or at least you could several years ago when I was buying used books).
Amazon is hardly the only source for used books. There are places where you can find them online for much less. Usually, there is not much difference in the paperback vs. eBook version, but NF had some pretty crappy errors slip through the conversion process. For example, many times during the first four stories, the Thallonian Empire was referred to as the Thai-Ionian Empire.
Wow, I never knew that because I only read the omnibus of the first four and not the individual books. 
Arrghh... the evils of unsupervised spellcheckers.
I've never had any problems with Amazon marketplace. I have even got a single vendor charge a single shipping fee when I ordered multiple items from the same vendor (Of course, YMMV according to the individual vendors).
And even with 4.00 S&H, buying a book for .01 is still cheaper than buying it new.

He's talking about the eBooks on the Stone and Anvil CD, not copies of the original, physical book.
I believe that's a format issue -- Adobe Reader 6 or later has trouble reading the files. You pretty much have to read them in an earlier version of Adobe to get the complete text.
