So how do average ebook prices compare globally? “The U.S. is neither the most nor the least price-competitive market in which we operate,” Tamblyn said. “There are very different prices that customers are used to paying and willing to pay on a market by market basis.” The average selling price of a Kobo ebook in the U.S. is about $7.20; in Canada, it’s $8.12. In the U.K. — “for our money, the most ferociously competitive price market in the English language” — the average selling price of a Kobo ebook is $5.76. Consumers in the E.U., meanwhile, appear willing to pay more for ebooks whether their country has price protection laws (Germany: average price $9.90; France: $10.40) or not (the average selling price in the Netherlands, where ebook prices are not fixed, is $11.29).
