I do wish they sold ebooks in other formats, but that's off topic... anyway, Sony bookstore usually seems to be higher than others, and Kobo seems to have really good coupons they send out in emails. It may be too soon for you to know how the pricing of books will be handled, but I was just curious. Thanks! |
Dear Davimee:
The pricing is still being adjusted... downward. The intent with us is to be the best value. Kindle has great prices... but that is because they can buy straight from the publisher and cut out the middleman (content distributor) entirely. However, they also sell thousands of eBooks a day. All I can say is that we are looking at making almost nothing at the start and building demand. We did go through a middleman... but we are not trying to come out high and work lower. I pray to God that people will find this new website refreshing!!
