There's not going to be a protracted dispute between Amazon and HarperCollins, as there was between Amazon and Hachette back in 2014.
Quote:
Amazon.com Inc. and HarperCollins Publishers have reached agreement on a new multiyear publishing pact that covers both print and digital titles, HarperCollins said.
An agreement between HarperCollins and Amazon puts an end to speculation the companies were nearing a showdown that would disrupt the sale of HarperCollins titles.
The agreement calls for HarperCollins to set the retail prices of its digital books, with incentives for HarperCollins to provide lower prices to consumers, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The deal’s specific financial terms weren’t available. The new agreement is expected to go into effect this week.
