basically, wholesale will favor the settling Publishers Simon & Schuster, Hachette and HarperCollins.
Amazon will price their bestsellers at $9.99. I expect Nook, KOBO to compete and lower their prices too.
Simon & Schuster bestsellers: $9.99 (Amazon pays $12.50)
Hachette bestsellers : $9.99 (Amazon pays $12.50)
HarperCollins bestsellers: $9.99 (Amazon pays $12.50)
Penguin bestsellers: $12.99 (70% agency cut = $9.093)
Macmillan bestsellers: $12.99 (70% agency cut = $9.093)
Random House bestsellers: $12.99 (70% agency cut = $9.093)
Higher prices will result in less books purchased (relatively). OUCH #1
Agency will also mean $9.093 revenue per book instead of $12.50. OUCH #2
The $1 million question: What will Random House do?
