...which is why the reduction must originate with the publisher.

FYI, I did not get any response from my e-mail. (Didn't think it came off too harsh...)

Penguin's ebook pricing
Hey, this is a price reduction for them - for at least some of their books.

interesting, although discouraging, reading. thanks for the links. in order to avoid setting off yet another pointless and circular debate i will refrain from stating what those articles make me want to do...
all the more reason to protest loudly and persistently, by every means possible (including not buying over-priced ebooks...). my stars, i love PG more every day. and my public library. hah ! take that, Penguin... |

I feel like a gravedigger writing to this thread ...
Did anybody get more responses? Or has anybody told Penguin about the DRM-problematic? |

i did not receive any further replies than the ones i posted... and i didn't mention DRM for the moment.
even if i had gotten more replies, i would encourage you to write as well ; the more people manifest their wishes to penguin, the more likely penguin is to begin to take us seriously. if you do write, feel free to dig up this thread whenever you like to tell us all about it. i for one am interested. if you look near the start of the thread there are a couple of email addresses you can try, unless you find something more suited (in which case, please post the one(s) you find). |
