Amazon Conceding to Publishers over E-book Price

amazon-best-shopping-seasonUntil January 31st, Amazon sold its digital book titles for $9.99, which was a driving force behind the Kindle’s faithful consumer all the time. However many book publishers did not care for this approach. Publishers believed that Amazon was undervaluing the eBooks. And at last, Amazon conceded to price the eBook at up to $14.99 and low to $12.99. This news made us know that market developments have brought about unavoidable challengs that threaten Amazon’s once untouchable eBook market share.

Apple announced its iPad may be one important factor that force Amazon into this decision. The iPad is a portable media tablet that will serve as eBook reader amongest many other features. As a result, the iPad is considered a direct competitor to the Amazon Kindle and has received a lot of media coverage building up to its recent debut. Apple also disclosed that it will allow publishers to set their own eBook prices in the Apple store. And if Amazon doesn’t do the same as Apple, publisher will not release their new book titles to Amazon.

Amazon once was the dominant force in the eBook industry, with which Amazon can drive down price. But now things have changed since Apple announced its iPad and iBookstore. I had thought more an more manufactures enter into rivalry over eBook, which can bring down the price of eBook reader, but now the price of eBook has been raised unexpectedly.
