the bit about 100k books at launch at 9.99 could have been dumping no? He makes no mention of the publishers coming to an agreement on such a low price. Usually e-books like that are 19.99 iirc.
- morelisp 6y agoAt the time, "e-books like that" did not exist. The publishers were not happy, sued in combination wither other tech companies, and introduced agency pricing as a response. A story with no heroes or winners.
