E-book battle lines being drawn…
In previous posts I have noted the escalating battle over electronic books that is being waged between traditional book publishers and internet book sellers like Amazon.com.
An article in the New York Times today distilled the essence of what is at stake here in one paragraph:
“The skirmish over e-books is part of a larger multidimensional chess match being played among publishers, authors, agents and book retailers. The big publishing houses hate the uniform e-book price of $9.99 that Amazon and others have set for newer titles. Although the retailers are subsidizing that price, executives say they believe that such pricing harms the market for more expensive hardcovers, and some publishers have reacted by announcing they will delay the publication of certain e-books by several months after they are made available in hardcover.”

I have tiny little Hawaiian Islands birthmark on my lower backside. Some people “read” birthmarks. I don’t suppose they require a review though…

People always say that my 666 birthmark is creepy ;-)

I don’t usually buy anything that’s 9.99 or 6.66. It’s just creepy.
