News Corp May Break Ties With Amazon Over Kindle Terms-Fox Business
Wednesday 08/05/2009 6:21 PM ET - Dow Jones Newswire

News Corp. (NWS) may break ties with Amazon (AMZN) over pricing terms for the Kindle e-reader, News Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said Wednesday in a conference call, according to a report on Fox Business Network. Murdoch also said News Corp. is in talks with Sony Corp. (SNE) about making content available on that company's upcoming e-reader, which aims to challenge the Kindle.
Murdoch also said that this will be the fiscal year the company starts charging for online news content beyond the Wall Street Journal's Web site.
News Corp. is the parent company of Fox Business Network and Dow Jones & Co., the publisher of this newswire.

Sounds like News Corp is playing Amazon and Sony off against each other to get the highest dollar for News Corp content.

It'll be interesting to see where they end up. My money is on Sony because they seem like the kind of company to throw lots of money at a problem in the hope of getting more market share.
