Scholarly Kitchen post



Michael Clarke has a very good post at the Scholarly Kitchen on 
the pricing of ebooks.  His thesis is that Apple will not be able 
to impose price controls on publishers in the same way it did for 
the music industry.The link is here:

Some pleasing humor to this:  Clarke ends by declaring victory 
for publishers, but then threatens a follow-up post on why 
publishers actually lost this battle. Stay tuned.  (Now there is 
an old media trick if there ever was one:  the cliffhanger. 
It's the basis of the subscription business model.)
