I've just checked out Waterstones site. A book by Thomas Gifford - The Assassini - quite interests me.
The Waterstones ebook price is £5.59.
I can get this book as a pbook brand new from an Amazon reseller with 99% positive rating for £1.00 plus 2.75 shipping.
I can get it from Amazon brand new as a pback for £5.49 and if I'm sensible about my purchases and get free super saver delivery I am better off.
Of course, my wife wouldn't be happy about yet more shelf space being taken up etc.,
If there is to be a paradigm shift and publishers etc., wish to make this whole ebooks thing work, then they have to embrace new and imaginative marketing strategies, otherwise it will just stay a niche market.
I'd be interested to hear what others think.
Best Wishes
David
