The pricing structure of Connect will be the downfall of the Reader. The traditional pricing structure of hardcover/paperback fails in the ebook marketplace and needs to be addressed. With music you get a CD. With a movie you get DVD. You are not forced to buy the content in one format for 12 months at more than double the price it will be in a new format later on. There will have to be some ebook pricing that stays the same and is competitive. I'm a Robert Parker reader and enraged at how long it takes the Connect store to finally realize one of the novels has been released in paperback so they'll switch prices on the store. It has, for some of his books, taken a month or so. Way too long.
I'm surprised I haven't seen media reviews of the reader point this out this issue.
