Dear Olympus <edited ...:-)>
Thank you for your interest in Penguin's e-book publishing plans. This is of course new territory for us and so we are very interested in the response of our readers. Our pricing decision is one we have adopted globally for the time being. We see the e-book as simply a new way for readers to access the work of our authors and so the price will be the same as the print price of the edition currently available. So, if a book is in hardback priced at £18.99 that will be the e-book price and once that book goes into paperback at, say £8.99, the e-book price will be dropped accordingly.
If you have any further questions with regard to Penguin's e-book publishing plans, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Best regards
Penguin Online
