Having had the Reader for a little over a week now, and having gone through everything it came loaded with, I am now taking a more serious look at the content on the Connect Store. Of course, I'd like to see alot more titles there, but the thing that's becoming the biggest concern for me is what I saw someone else post in another thread...that complaint being that many of the titles there are being sold at just slightly less than the HARD COVER price you'd pay at somewhere like Amazon, rather than being sold at closer to the paperback price!

As I think the other posted said, it seems ludicrous to sell an ebook for near the same price a publisher charges for their most expensive hard back edition. If the only printed version of a book out is hard cover, then yes, I guess I can see charging close to that price for the ebook...if you want it that early on, and the only other alternative is the hard cover version, then it sort of makes sense that they could charge CLOSE to that price for an ebook version, actually a little less. But for anything that also has a paperback version out, then I would think the ebook version should be CLOSE to that, actually a little less.

I really am having a hard time making myself believe I should spend $15-$20 dollars or more for alot of these ebooks, when I could go buy the paperback version for $6-$10 dollars or less! Is this just me being cheap, or shouldn't we expect a better pricing on these ebooks?!?

Wait till amazon launches thier service. Until there is major interest and competition pricing will stay at the same as the current most expensive print version.

Unfortunately, the publishers are the ones who set the prices on the e-books. Yes, Sony gets a cut, but the pubs basically tell them how much they'll get a cut of.

That being said, it will be interesting to see what happens when Amazon's Kindle comes out. I imagine that the prices will be fairly similar, since the only wiggle room the re-seller gets is their own cut. I don't imagine that the pubs will feel any particular pressure to sell to one retailer any more cheaply than another. :beam:

On the other hand, the question we could look at right now is: how much is MobiPocket (which now belongs to Amazon) selling the same book for?

I randomly selected The Lincoln Lawyer, by Michael Connelly ('cause I found it on both sites almost immediately). Mobipocket (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/BookDetails.asp?BookID=26890) has it for $6.99, and Connect (http://ebooks.connect.com/product/400/000/000/000/000/047/254/400000000000000047254.html) has it for $14.36, or about twice as much.

For another comparison, McCaffrey's Dragons Fire (presently only available in hardback) is $14.36 at Connect (http://ebooks.connect.com/product/400/000/000/000/000/035/467/400000000000000035467.html), and $17.95 at Mobipocket (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/BookDetails.asp?BookID=30984) .

So I'd say you may have a point about the paperback thing, but you also may get a better deal during hardback stage from Connect.

I say "may," because I don't consider this to be a representative survey/comparison of the two sites. :grin:


Some things to consider about pbook pricing. When you look at cover price in a bookstore, that's essentially 50% higher than what the book cost the retailer. It used to be a 40% mark-up when I was in high-school, but apparently that's increased (which says some interesting things about how those cover prices have increased in the same time frame, but I digress).

So when Borders or B&N offer that new hardback at 10% off, they're selling it for 90% of 150% of what they paid for it, or a 35% mark-up over their cost. When Amazon does the same thing for 20% of the cover price, they're basically selling it for 20% over their cost. They can get away with that because they have less overhead, not having to run a retail operation as well as what amounts to a distribution operation.

E-books are a whole different ballgame. We've talked a lot about what differences the non-physical nature of e-books make to that whole process, but we don't really know, and the pubs aren't telling, assuming they've figured it out (a reasonable assumption, I think).

The practical upshot is that the pubs still set the price they'll sell "copies" to a retailer for, and they may not want to "compete" with their well understood paper product, by way of a scary new electronic product that they're still suspicious is going to rob them blind through piracy.

That's all very complicated, and I'm sure that there's much more to it than I've touched on, or would even pretend to grasp. That's actually my point, I guess: that this is a lot more complicated than it appears at first, or even 15th, glance. :shrug:

I'd suggest you send Sony a list of titles that have hardback-esque prices when the title is already out in paperback. Publishers usually lower their eBook prices when the paperback comes out, but Sony might not have been alerted

:shrug: It might be worth a try, but since the pubs tell them what to charge in the first place....

Of course, it could be some lag with the store starting up, I suppose. I've noticed that some titles have been added in the last couple of weeks that weren't there when it opened. That McCaffrey book is one of them :beam:

Should we take this thread frontpage?

I'll throw in my two cents worth and probably be flamed for it or at least lightly basted.

I have no intention of ever using the Sony Connect store or any other e-book store that has DRM on a publication I "buy". The word "Buy" when used in relation to DRM publications is one of those cases of redefining a word so people won't have to hear the unpleasant true ones like "rent", "lease" and thigns like that.

When I buy a "book" I have a physical object that belongs to me which I can use in any conceivable place, time circumstance and it belongs to me and I get to decide how I makes use of that object.

I have a Sony Reader and the same rules apply to my use of it.

To have the drastic and rather insane limitations of DRM placed on something and THEN expect me to pay 90% of what a Book costs is something that proves the H.L Mencken dictum "No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the America Public"

Rather than pay for a crippled, hamstrung DRM "virtual book", I'll buy the book at the bookstore and then either download an unprotected copy of that book from the ether out there or cut the spine and scan the darn thing myself in a high speed scanner.

Either way, what goes on my reader will be able to go on my computers, my E-bookwise, my Cybook, or any other devide I own and choose to use to read from.

Books that touch DRM will never touch my Sony Reader.

I'd suggest you send Sony a list of titles that have hardback-esque prices when the title is already out in paperback. Publishers usually lower their eBook prices when the paperback comes out, but Sony might not have been alertedI think that you are right on here, MT. Sony has indicated that they will be keeping an eye on prices, and if things are out of line they will often be adjusting them. So for books that look like they are priced at hardback prices, when maybe they would be more in line with other stores like eReader/MobiPocket/etc, I wouldn't be surprised if they are adjusted.

On the other hand, as NatCh says, it is the publishers are the ones that set prices, so if the publisher really did intend that price to be higher for some reason, it will probably stay that way.

But from my own brief browsing, I think the Sony store ebook prices are generally in line for the majority, so it's encouraging that the store will be a place you can buy and not feel too much like you were ripped off. (Of course, we all think e-books are overpriced on the whole anyway, but that's a different matter altogether. Here, we are just hoping that Sony store prices will stay in line with ebook pricing as it exists today so customers don't end up going to exclusively PD books, or even reading less or on other platforms because of ebook prices.)

Like a lot of things, we'll learn a lot over time.

I don't think that sentiment will get you flamed around here, Fitzwaryn, nor even slightly basted -- it's too widely shared for that. :grin:

Books that touch DRM will never touch my Sony Reader.You are definitely not alone.

There is growing sentiment against the kind of DRM schemes that we are seeing these days. People want to buy a book and feel like it's theirs to read permanently on whatever platform they choose, and current DRM doesn't do that. Many other issues as well, of course. I respect your choices.

But DRM is a bigger issue than just Sony, and some people will still end up taking current DRM as a necessary evil for now. On the one hand, there is the desire to "take a stand" and create change. On the other hand is the reality that copyrighted materials are, for the most part, going to involve DRM, and the Sony store is the logical and easy place to get content for the Sony Reader. For example, I think the masses of regular readers, that hopefully buy the Reader, will most likely only read books from the Sony store.

That doesn't change the fact, though, that the DRM system is broken right now from a consumer's point of view. It's definitely a hot topic and emotional issue.

OK, is there some way to ask everyone here to contribute to such a list, that's kept on this site? I'm pretty new to this group, and not as familiar with how things work here. But I'm pretty sure I alone couldn't find every instance where the Connect store is charging near-hard cover prices for books out in paperback. I assume that most everyone here will probably find out what a "printed" price is for the books they plan on purchasing from Connect, so if we could somehow compile that list here, we'd probably get a pretty good idea of how things are going.

Then if someone (Bob Russell?) actually has a contact at Sony we could provide the list to, say after a month, maybe they'd be willing to take a look? I suppose I could just try emailing it to the Connect store Help folks if no one has a better destination.

the pubs tell them what to charge in the first place....

Today I wanted to buy Anansi Boys from the Connect Store. Well, first I wanted to check out the price before my Reader gets out of Customs. The paperback in Amazon.com is $8, while the ebook in Connect it's $16, and Fictionwise it's $20 (or $17 club, whatever that means). Now, if you check out Mobipocket... $8. The same exact price scheme applies to Pratchett's Thud!

Pratchett's Wintersmith (just out in hback) is $12 in Amazon.com, $14 in Fictionwise and Mobipocket, and $12 in Connect.

Comparing this with NatCh's results, it looks like Mobipocket is better for pback prices, BUT they already have Gaiman's Fragile Things, which is not available from neither Fictionwise nor Connect. Anyway, this is stupid: ebooks already out in pback should be way cheaper than the pback price.

My personal choice: buy pbooks to keep & own, then Connect (hahah) to IRC. Otherwise, scan them yourself.

I'm pretty sure that Sony has people watching MobileRead, though I think they're on the Reader side, rather than the Connect side (the different divisions are pretty insular).

As for making a list, we could start a new thread just for that purpose. I think there will be more than a few interested in helping catalog the price discrepancies. :grin:

The main problem I can see is that connect will bomb because a) its not very well done and b) the prices are outrageous. Then Sony will kill off the reader claiming there "is no market for it".

I have faith that someone will do it right, just not that Sony will be the one

If they were going to kill off the Reader due to lack of market, I don't think we'd have the Reader, as the Librie' only sold about 5,000 units .... :shrug:

That's not a garuantee, of course, but I think it is a point. :smile:

I will start another thread for the purpose of listing e-books at the Sony Connect online e-book store, with prices that seem out of line -- books that are available in paperback but are priced as if they are hardback equivalents.

I'll post the URL in this thread when it's available. We'll leave this thread open for a place to vent about pricing complaints and discussion, and try to keep the other thread "clean" with items that I'll pass to Sony after a period of time. Maybe in pieces as they collect.

I can't promise any pricing changes, but I do believe that Sony is interested in keeping prices in line as much as we are. And as we frequently remind everyone, publishers set the prices, so any pricing changes will be up to them. But it's a great idea to make them aware of where there might be some legitimate pricing concerns at the store.

Bob, we will need another two threads :)

1: Things to be fixed/improved/added (probably sorted by priority)
2: Another round of questions to Sony

Here we go with the prices that are oddly too high thread...
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7986

The falacy of "masses of regular ebook readers"... Have not seen them until now, do not expect to see them soon. Unfortunate, but to spend 3-400$ or more on a reader, and pretty high prices on what are essentially disposable books is not something masses of people are going to do...(nonconvertible drm ebooks are something you do not buy and plan to read in a year since you may not be able to).

Liviu

You are definitely not alone.

Bob meant masses of regular readers, not regular e-book readers, Liviu_5. You're right that there aren't any masses of those. At least not yet. :smile:

He's hoping some of those regular readers will become regular ebook readers, a hope I share, because greater numbers means we can yell louder, and hopefully get the things changed that need changing. :beam:

Okay, I am starting to see a pattern here.

Basically, every book available at $15.96 in Sony and already out in paperback is sold at half the price at both Mobipocket and Amazon. Fictionwise normally has them at a little bit more than Sony. I started to fill Bob's thread with a list, but I got bored and decided maybe it's better to announce my findings here.

Maybe Amazon reached an exclusive agreement with the publishers requiring being the first ones with the ebook the same price as the paperback? Any ideas?

Do you guys ever buy at Powells.com? That's where I buy almost all of my encrypted ebooks (other than Simon&Schuster). They sell almost all their ebooks at 20% off. Nice prices, imo.

Considering that the prices don't seem to be what lordvetinari2 had originally stated anymore, and in fact appear to be less than MobiPocket's prices now...a list is probably a good idea :)

I posted one here (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=41672#post41672) (Patriots Club) and had to comment on it, but didn't want to clutter the other thread...

I think it is a bit demoralizing to look for a book (which takes some effort and time anyway), only to come up with a price that's out of line, or missing altogether. I love the way Sony is showing they care about getting prices right, but I sure hope they are looking at the big picture also. They obviously can't react to everything we notice, and even if they did it's only a sample. Many other frustrated customers will still find high prices, but they may never be heard from again after the $50 runs out. Surely eReader and MobiPocket have figured something out. Let's hope it's just the typical new rollout bumps in the road!

Hmmm... I take it back. Maybe this is a tougher problem than I thought. It looks like nobody got this one right. MobiPocket, eReader and Fictionwise all have it at similar price levels. Yikes! Surely the publisher doesn't intend to price it so out of line with mass paperback.

Here's a follow-up on my Patriots Club post.

Our mysterious store price minder person has already knocked down Patriots Club to $5.59. (I hope there's not someone at Sony going sleepless trying to catch up with all the adjustments! But wow, you sure have to give them credit for effort to even pay attention to this. I don't know how long it can last, but it's much appreciated, and should be a benefit to all of the store customers.)

I'm grabbing a BBeB copy of this right now, lest the price jump up on me again! At a couple of dollars less than the mass paperback price from Amazon, and the opportunity to read it on my Sony Reader, how can I resist?

Now that I'm getting used to spending from the $50 store credit, I have a feeling that if there is a general pricing edge over paper for the majority of e-books at the store, we'll see a lot more impulse e-book buying. Me included, which completely surprises me. It takes away some of the urgency to find public domain materials all the time. If I make impulse paper book purchases, why not e-books too? I think the $50 credit was a great way to get people used to buying online.

Now if only they could sort out the formatting so that it is consistant and fills the page. Oh, and most of the maps in the books I bought are unreadable because they only fill 1/3 of the screen for some reason.

A strange follow-up to my post on the John Dean book, "The Rehnquist Choice." I reported it cost $20.86 at the Connect store, but only $9.99 at eReader.com and Mobipocket. The book was then dropped to $7.99 at the Connect store, but it is now back to $20.86! Not sure what's going on. I just wish I had bought it during the $7.99 window.

(Sorry to double-post this info, but I realized it was more relevant to this thread than the thread on general frustrations with the Connect store).

Same thing with the Patriots Club. It went down from $14.36 to $5.59, which seemed like a reasonable price and in line with their strategy. Now I checked again and it was $14.36 again. They must either have some kind of automated price setting job that runs every so often, or the publishers are fighting lower prices! ;-)

Hmm... "The Rehnquist Choice" back to $7.99. I'd better buy it now! :)

strange stuff. One one book I'm interested in, "Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity" by David Allen, the hardcover ISBN is 0670899240 ($16.47 on amazon, $24.95 list) and the paperback ISBN is 0142000280 ($9.00 on amazon, $15 list).

On connect, the print ISBN listed is the paperback one, but the print list price is shown as 24.95.

This all seems rather disingenuous to me.

Powell's has a good selection - but how do you read their MS reader books on the Sony reader - they're DRM protected so you can't convert .lit files to .rtf or .doc like you could for an unprotected file (using a utility). PDF's are too cumbersome to read on the PRS given sizing issues.

I don't mean to annoy anyone by double posting this, but I'm annoyed that the Connect store would sell the old version of Freakonomics, and at full price yet! When I sent them a complaint, they treated as a suggestion to look into acquiring the new version, not the complaint of a customer who felt a little ripped.

I don't know, I love the convenience of the Connect store and not having to reformat my documents, but I'm not sure I want to keep buying from them until they get their act together.

One other thing about Freakonomics - the ebook features suck! The "table of contents" does not have navigation to the actual chapters of the book. It seems to me if they are going to charge a premium for an ebook, they should at least put in the electronic features to make it worth it.

BTW, although I'm complaining about the content, I love the Sony Reader! I've read two books on it in the last week...

Mohit25 - I use the convertlit device as I believe the drm to be unconstitutional.

BTW, although I'm complaining about the content, I love the Sony Reader! I've read two books on it in the last week...I agree, the reader itself is very nice, though I'm eagerly anticipating the firmware revision for filing by category and/or genre.

So far the only two huge positives for me over the old Gemstar unit are screen quality (a biggie!) and battery life (a real treat).

Unfortunately, my experience with the Connect store and their (lack of) customer service have persuaded me to cancel my second reader on order. There's no point in buying two units to share connect title between myself and my roommate if I'm not going to be buying as much through the connect store anymore.

Can we re-sell ebooks? Would it be possible to transfer my license to a book that I've purchased to someone else? It seems like the lack of that ability is a fairly significant downside to the whole e-book idea. When I buy a book from amazon, I can read it and then sell it to the local used book store and get a couple bucks back.

I've been reading Freakonomics - the book talks about economic incentives for doing things, and it makes perfect sense. If there is no economic incentive to the whole ebook idea, the general public is not going to buy into it. There is obviously a good economic incentive to buying songs over itunes - rather than buying a whole album for $12-$18, you can buy the one good song for $1.

For me, I'm willing to pay a price that reflects a slight discount from paper copies in exchange for a) having a library that travels with me, b) getting instant delivery of a desired book, and c) the reduction of storage space as opposed to that required for paper books. I'm willing to trade off resellability and lendability in exchange for these. In fact, trading off lendability can actually be an asset - my friends are excellent bookkeepers! :D

What I hate about ebook pricing, is ebook copies that are still priced at the hardcover level after paperbacks have been released. I understand why it is that way - the ebooks may have only a slight marginal cost (royalties, server fees, retailer margin), but they do have non-trivial fixed costs which, depending on how few copies are sold, can equate to a very large per title cost.

Just the same, I think if they could bring the prices down a tad, they would have a chance of making it up on volume. Maybe. It's hard to say because the active ebook purchasing community isn't that large a market comparitively speaking.

May be the publishers and the on-line stores should get to gether to offer a converison service.

For old formats that fall out of voge and for those new unit with low content... Like a book binder of old... A dollar or so... Automate the process etc... Would transfer DRM over also...

Well just an idea...

I'm sure it would help if they stopped having a dozen different DRM schemes all incompatible with each other and each respective reader and different books only available in certain formats. No better way to stagnate market growth than consumer confusion.

I hope that I'm posting this in the correct thread (apologies if I'm not):
A number of people have discussed prices at different ebookweb vendors, and their prices. These and other people have mentioned DRM; my question is whether or not I can purchase data at ebooks.comor fitionwise.com, and then view that data file on the Sony Reader? Am beginning to think that the answer is 'maybe, with lots of time converting and searching through different file extensions.' Sadly, if that is true, then for me--and I have to think many other people who have or have not seen this forum--anything like the current incarnation of the Reader is a waste of time and money

Hah. My first Sony Connect experience = bad. I was interested to pick up "Running With Scissors," especially since it's only $2.00 as a promo right now. Well, as soon as you add it to your cart, it's $11.20. Yay Sony! :|

I guess I need one of these to reply to this post:

http://www.cyberfox.org/albums/wallpapers/elder_sign_lovecraft_green_1200.thumb.jpg

Sadly, if that is true, then for me--and I have to think many other people who have or have not seen this forum--anything like the current incarnation of the Reader is a waste of time and moneyYou are correct that the Sony Reader won't display the formats you're talking about without quite a lot of work on the files.

However, for perspective's sake, recognize that the problem here is not that Sony doesn't display other people's closed, proprietary formats, but that the texts were sold in closed proprietary formats in the first place.

That's the risk we assume when we by things in such formats, and I'm sure that rluazon will be glad to expound on why that's a Bad Thing, as he has done so eloquently before. :grin2:

The point is that whether or not they told us at the time (which they don't), when we bought books from ebooks.com et.al., we accepted that unless that particular format became the standard for e-books, we'd most likely lose access to those files at some point, when the formats are no longer supported by anyone.

Clearly, that same risk presently attaches to Sony's BBeB books from the Connect Store (http://ebooks.connect.com/). If a standard format is adopted, and the vendors of these books convert their holdings into that notional standard, then we could probably get at them forever on whatever platform we like. Will Sony do such a conversion, if a 'standard' is adopted, no way to know 'til it happens (even if I am privately hopeful on that point). Will the rest of them do such a conversion under such circumstances? :shrug:


However, it should be noted that in addition to its BBeB format, the Sony Reader also handles PDF, TXT, and RTF files -- without conversion -- and they are already pretty standard formats.

So, consider this, the fact that the Sony Reader doesn't handle fictionwise, ebook.com, mobipocket, or a host of other formats doesn't change the fact that it's a dandy piece of hardware, that (by most all accounts) is easier to actually read from than pretty much everything that's come before it.

I'm not going to let a prior investment in a closed, proprietary format stop me from taking advantage of that. It may slow me down on future investment in closed, proprietary formats (such as BBeB), but that's really another matter, and as long as I can get stuff to read in one of the other formats, I'm good. :beam:

And that is what you'll have to decide for yourself, Cthulhu. :yes:

I read the excerpt of the book by Paolini and thought it might be a good way to use some of the credit and see how I liked their DRMd books... and it came back with 3 versions of the book, two for 12.95 and one for 10.36 - seems odd that one of their demo books would have issues in the store.

They probably just have mutliple "editions" of it. I suppose I don't really need suggest that you take the cheaper option. :grin:

"I'll have to buy the White Album all over again."

Natch--or is it Nathan?--I realise that the device itself has its drawbacks, and that all the goofy format issues are not some evil plot from SONY. In fact, one of the main reasons that I even considered buying from them again was the inclusion of an SD card slot. Am sure everyone remembers the overly-proprietary nature of many of their products (memory stix, Beta, Blu-Ray). While I am sad that SONY & Microsoft cannot play together, I am encouraged by the good will engendered in such an inclusion (i.e. the SD card, the different formats).

Why all the different formats, and why all the difficulty between them? In other words, I want this fast, I want it exceptional quality, and I want to pay $1.49 for it.
There are lots of sound economic and techinical reason why not, and I understand most of them. I realise that ebooks are the same as real books because I am not paying for the paper, the binding, or the ink, I'm paying for the data, the marketing, the hotel room in NYC when the author's on the Today Show.
However, it still stings, and it still prevents a number of people from embracing the new culture. That's why I said 'for most people.'
I'm still going to wring my hands over having one of these cool little gadgets, but I may have to wait for the PRS-550 or the PRS 561a

In other words, I want this fast, I want it exceptional quality, and I want to pay $1.49 for it.
Fast, cheap or good - pick two. ;)
