I suppose when we consider the higher cost of an individual title to a library is a result of:
- More frequent use (or sign-outs, which is of course, aside from the Harper Collins 26-use cap)
- Processing and distribution costs
- Royalty considerations
These factors can also be applied to eBooks. I think a slightly higher price than retail is acceptable for electronic texts in terms of library distribution, in the area of 10-15%.
Reactions to this, publishers, librarians and retail booksellers?
