I found it very interesting and not very surprising to me. Is it all that surprising that many publishers treat ebooks as almost an afterthought? Poor formatting, poor metadata, and little to no information on upcoming releases. How the heck do they expect the retailers to market the ebooks if the retailers don't know what's being released? All the retailers have their work cut out for them with that and agency pricing.
I'd be very interested to see what Kobo has to say in a year with regard to agency pricing. How successful were they at selling above $9.99? $9.99 is a psychological price barrier that will be difficult for many to pass for a product that most consider inferior to the physical product.
Thanks for the link!
