Here is my question why does it work for ITunes? A few years back a pressed CD was sometimes around 30 dollars, now you can buy the same content, in electronics format(mp3), for less $8-$10. There is an established business model for selling art in electronic format at a price point significantly lower then the physical media. If this model is to be believed as profitable we should see a reduction in the price of e-books to, say around, $2-3 per title?
You would think the e-book technology would enable writers to publish themselves rather then go through the system, no? How much can it cost proofread your own book and deal with someone like Fictionwise directly?
