It's not just agency pricing that's causing me to not buy certain ebooks. Macmillan in the UK are publishing China Mieville's new book soon. The ebook version isn't getting released until about a week after the pbook. I'm amazed that all the crap the music industry has been through has taught them nothing. Even Solaris seem incapable of sorting out the ebook rights to most books until after the pbook has been published. They're useless. I'd expect better from a Sci-fi imprint.
I noticed an article on Engaget earlier about how ebooks sales are rising big time and pbook sales are dropping hard. Is someone going to start paying attention soon? Iceberg approaching.
