Bringing some sense to ebook pricing
by Rob - July 3rd, 2009.Filed under: ebooks.
My favorite ebook format is eReader (now ultimately owned by Barnes & Noble), and they’ve announced some nice pricing initiatives over at eReader.com, which should help to bring some sanity to ebook pricing:
eReader.com has the most competitive pricing in the industry, including:
- All new titles are $9.95 or less for the first week after release at eReader.com.
- After one week, all new titles are set to the publisher list price but will not exceed $12.95.
- No title is priced over $12.95.
- All titles on the New York Times best seller list at eReader are $9.95. The New York Times best seller list at eReader is updated every week.
- All titles receive 15% eReader Rewards.
Note: These special offer price limits do not apply to multi-title bundles, subscriptions, and non-eBook products.
And, yup, my Wake, which is a $25 hardcover, is just $12.95 there, and my Hugo Award-winning Hominids is just $5.99.
