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. press release via Publisher's Weekly ------------------- 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?
