I'm pretty well convinced of the accuracy of the claim, due to the large volume of titles used in the comparison. I am a little surprised though, since Bezos has stated publicly that they don't use their ebooks to drive Kindle device sales; i.e. their goal is to earn a profit off of the actual ebooks. Not really sure how lower prices accomplishes that, unless they're just taking a short-term hit in order to gain long-term dominance.... |
You know it might be that other eBook retailers are pricing their books far above the equilibrium price. If Amazon is closer to it they will take less per book, sure, but the increase in volume will more than make up for it.
