The strategy of concentrating on the US market and punishing other customers by higher prices (think 350 EUR ebook) BACKFIRES.
The other BIG (HUGE!!!) issue is ebook prices. Ebook devices have NO CHANCE to become mainstream with dozens of unique formats, DRM protection and ridiculous pricing.
What ebook makers should do:
- remove DRM
- drop ebook prices at least 30% below paper book prices
- use a standard format
- do not discriminate non-US customers
Absent of these changes, this will remain a niche market FOREVER.
