via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on June 01, 2008
Today's New York Times reports an astonishing fact: Book publishers wholesale their ebooks to Amazon for precisely the same price as their paper books. Amazon loses money on every ebook for the Kindle they sell because publishers don't discount zero-cost ebooks.

via ReadWriteWeb by Marshall Kirkpatrick on June 06, 2008
