I did receive three separate e-mails this morning from the FL State Attorney General's Office regarding the transcripts and Kinko's. I was surprised to receive such a quick response and happy to receive an answer and an assurance they did work on this. Oh, yeah, no one should have paid more than stated below for paper copies (and Kinko's paper-price is lower!) but he didn't mention the price of electronic copies. See below:

You can still get copies from the SAO, but they will take longer to provide
and be 15 cents per page. You can also get paper copies from Kinko's for 9
cents a page, which is below the statutory minimum. The SAO does not have
a digital file of the records. Kinko's does.
