Competition Bureau strikes deal that's expected to lower ebook prices in Canada
Quote:
The Competition Bureau announced Friday that Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan and Simon & Schuster have agreed to remove or amend clauses in their distribution agreements with individual ebook retailers.
In a statement, the Bureau said it expects the move will restrict retail price competition, effectively allowing retailers to offer discounts on ebooks.
Finally Canadians will see some lower ebook prices. I can't believe the difference in prices between the US and Canada. I hope this happens soon. I've spent up to $15 for an ebook (and not a newly released one either). I hope we can start seeing more for $9.99 or less.
