E-Book Deals Prompts Competition Inquiry Wall Steet Journal
So, it was not a question of if, just a question of when.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000..._LEFTWhatsNews I raised this issue when Fictionwise got shut out of the business. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is conducting a preliminary review of agreements between the nation's largest electronic book publishers and Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc., saying he is concerned the pacts could be anticompetitive. |

Agency 5 totally missed on this one.
Somebody should point them to the Diesel-eBooks blog where they talk about how the Agency sales model did nothing but fortify the big players "Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple" in terms of capturing the market and the Indie eBook sellers are now on the endangered list. And wasn't that theoretically the whole point of Agency Pricing .... gosh darn it we have to protect all those little guys from big, bad Amazon? |
