1. Ebook pricing is going to go up (anywhere from 3-5 dollars) for 5 of the major publishing companies
BoB's current price for James Patterson's I, Alex Cross is $19.98.
The RRP for the hardback is $27.99 according to Amazon.

According to Smashwords the price guide for the iBookstore shows that the ebook should be priced at no more than $14.99 for the iPad. Publishers are not allowed to allow it to be sold for less than that elsewhere.

Do I have this all down right?
No. In fact the price should come DOWN by $5 and BoB will certainly not be required to increase it.

How many times do I have to say this before it'll get through? BoB is simply engaging in scaremongering.
