The RAND Corporation announced yesterday that it has reduced the suggested retail price of all ebook editions to $9.95. According to Jane Ryan, "our costs are lower for e-books and we want to pass these savings on to the public".

They have about 900 titles available for the Kindle, and have just signed with Sony and Overdrive.

-------------------
We've heard other publishers say that an ebook costs the same to produce as a paper book. Apparently that's not true. RAND can see the reduced cost of ebooks and other publishers can't. What is RAND doing right that everyone else is doing wrong?
