New Pricing Deal With Two Publishers

CCDMan · 03-31-2010, 09:15 PM

Don't know if this was posted elsewhere but two more publishers have convinced Amazon to go the Apple way and let publishers set pricing.

Amazon Caves Again

As far as I am concerned, just one more reason to buy more e-books from BAEN!

Well, it is either cave or not have the books...

What is going to happen (with me anyhow) is that I will wait for the book to drop in price before buying it... but there will be a book that will catch my attention by that time and I will forget all about that book... they will just loose a sale

Yes, I love Baen's books! Just bought their March webscriptions bundle!

I don't see how the publisher's can set ebook prices almost the same price as a regular book. Doesn't seem fair to me.

I don't like that at all.

I wrote about this on my blog awhile back. I still think this is going to blow up in the publishes face.

Good write-ups!
Where are your ebooks located at?
