The terrible dilemma of cost e-book giants struggle

According to literary agent Nathan Bransford, the problem of the cost of an electronic book faces a terrible dilemma : its really not at all correspond to what we imagine the public ...


Myth and reality ... a theme not unknown for book lovers, is now inviting debate about the cost of the eBook.

Indeed, the author of the article gives the following example: in a classic book that costs $ 25, the distribution of costs is made in this way (we're talking about an exercise rather theoretical course):

• $ 12.5 for the distributor and the bookseller (publishers usually sell the book about half its final sale price, but are not responsible for the distribution of books to retail outlets)
• $ 2.5 to shared between the author and his agent (this is obviously very relative, but it may take an average of one author receives 10% of the final price and shares it with his agent, usually with a distribution of 85/15)
• $ 10 for the editor, which are divided into:
• $ 2 for costs of printing and binding
• $ 2 for the logistical costs (shipping, storage, stock management, etc ...)
• $ 6 for other costs of publishing

says Bransford that if we wish, sell their works in electronic form, the authors preserve their income levels, the only costs that can cut are then the $ 4 cost of printing and binding costs, giving us for the same book in electronic format, a value of $ 17, so divided:

• $ 8.5 for the distributor or bookseller (applying 50%)
• $ 2.5 a share between the author and his agent (preserving the current level of remuneration)
• $ 6 for the publishing, not of course include printing costs or logistical

We see this exercise is not so easy to reduce the cost of a book, which is very electronic. However, obviously the public opinion, paying $ 17 for a book that is worth $ 25 in paper, not a business. Here is the dilemma between myth (the public) that says that the production of an e-book costs nothing, and reality (the editors) that can not sustain these low prices, often dictated by distributors (such as Amazon and lately, Apple). Although this is a bit more complex than it appears, for example, Amazon sells electronic books under $ 10 even paying more for them to publishers ... now that's played ... although it is clear that you end up playing against the latter.


But Bransford's speech seems a little weak in 2 aspects: first, he forgets that distribution costs should also be quasi-deleted (which costs up an Internet e-book now?), So that could lower the rate of 50% applicable to traditional book distribution, and second is likely to have to ask the authors with an absolute effort (keeping rates similar to current), effort justified by the fact that while is cheaper to sell their works, is likely to sell more.

Anyway, this problem is quite interesting and publishers / distributors that you can understand and resolve the best way will probably be the largest of tomorrow ...

Maikel The first time was at the house dates back six years. Came about to do some homework with my son, and was accompanied by a large part of Friends of the classroom. It was quite restless, inquisitive and a joker. It is seen that played the comedian in his friends. He was also friendly and always greeted me later love and appreciation.

The second time I went to the house, while her mother appeared. We talked for a while and sorry for coming, I said we had to keep an eye on him which gave him reason and I assured him that there was no problem with come to do homework, let alone that she came. Maikel

suffered from epilepsy and his mother knew he had to take special care with it. Maikel

and his mother lived in the neighborhood of 18 km of the Pan-American, and unlike all his friends was the only one who lived in the neighborhood. The lady attended a warehouse in the same neighborhood and could afford to have your child in a private school. She was married to another man who was not the father of Maikel. Maikel's father knew nothing and he did not know or want to know anything about it.

Time passed and the friendship of Maikel and my son moved away due to changes in school, however I met him several times and always asked about her studies.

More or less two years Maikel's mother died of cancer. Maikel stepfather was in charge of that proved to be as absent as his father. Maikel tattooed the name of his mother in the chest and gave to friends in the neighborhood used to commit crimes.

Not long ago I met him, and already knowing who was the wrong road, I volunteered to teach him to resume his abandoned studies. I said yes, I'd go for the house, but knew little likelihood of that happening.

A bullet pierced his chest, right where he had tattooed the name of his mother.

The Giants are hot in Chile. This weekend we completed the presentation of "The Invitation: small Giant Diving Bell and his uncle, huge puppets that the company Royal de Luxe brought to the streets of Santiago to star in an entertaining search and a tearful reunion. But not all is love between giants. In trying to define the prices of electronic books, also armed mochas.

our friend is no doubt that Amazon is now the "giant" electronic books. However, is having some hectic days, with the help of the American publisher Macmillan. According this blog KT Bradford, editor of LAPTOP magazine, discontent is that Amazon does not sell electronic books to more than $ 9.99. And obviously, Macmillan wants to sell more expensive (about USD 15, according to this article New York Times). "Duel of Persian carpet sellers so far, with little to do with a struggle gulliveriana? OK. But it is interesting to deepen the subject.

books at Amazon and $ 10

Willing to regulate the prices of electronic books appears laudable reasonable levels, besides the fact that it is probably the only way to ensure the business. However, Amazon has the bad habit of wanting to keep the lion's share. In fact, for each book sold on their website, they stay on average for 50% of the purchase price. The rest of the proceeds of the sale is shared between the publisher and author. Under these conditions, force publishers to reduce their profits to obey a strict pricing policy is probably not the best way to ensure the business. In addition, on the other hand, Apple offers through its iStore, to publishers more advantageous: a price of USD 15 and a sharing of proceeds from the sale of 30/70 between the platform and the content owner.

The editor, actor sensitive electronic book business
Indeed, in the electronic book business, you have to take care of the editor. It is the heart of literary activity, in the sense that it is he who supplies the blood (produced by the writers) to their veins (distribution networks). The costs of publication of an electronic book are a bit more lower than those of a physical book, but the levels are not very different: according to Bradford, the printing costs only represent 10% of the total cost of publication. Apparently, Amazon realized this and is beginning to change its rules, as we explained a few days at the end of this Article . Also reached an agreement with Macmillan, where they stop to this editorial choice of a price ranging between 13 and 15 dollars.

A interesting question to ask is why Amazon, which ultimately is nothing more than a reseller, is allowed to unilaterally set prices? Finally, prices "should not determine the law of supply and demand?

Anyway, this battle of giants is proving that the economic model of electronic books is still traveling the road to maturity. Just like a little doll who was wandering the city streets in recent days ...

If NASA says it!

These days, the very NASA has entered the dance eBooks. And to keep his composure, the venerable institution decided to make it big: delivering quality books and for fri.

The gripping story of the legendary X15
Take a look at this page of the U.S. Agency possibly mythical, now that the CIA is losing more and more credibility in international opinion. Do not know what causes them, but to me, gives me chills something like: our friends the geniuses at NASA divulging their secrets, free, and on top-quality editions of Who said the book addresses killed culture?

An example: the first e-book published by NASA is entitled X15: Extending the Frontiers of Flight . It tells the story of a mythical NASA program that aimed to build a super-plane intended for scientific research (mainly around data collection and medical aerodynamic at high altitudes). Taking advantage of the flight, this toy allowed to "Knights of the Sky" out for a spin at Mach 6 to a height of 250,000 feet (we're talking about a trip to 76,200 meters in height at a speed of 4,567 km / h ). The program was officially launched in September 1955. 13 years later, on October 24, 1968, Bill Dana flew the 100909th and last flight of an X-15. This successful program will cost the life of a pilot, Michael Adams, in an accident due to electrical failures in the flight number 191.

This fascinating history is revealed in a complete book of 643 pages, PRC formats (Kindle) or PDF (for Sony Reader, depending on the site, but obviously you can read in most devices, including Your faithful computadorcito). Edit Plan also form "Nook" (I guess this means in the EPUB open format.) The book is of interest to many corners of the adventure presents the technical details, study the military context, detailing the problems of investigations conducted during the program, and gives a detailed history of the early flights was the "active" program. Furthermore, complete with a selection of short biographies of some of his heroes: Armstrong, Becker, White, the aforementioned Dana Adams, etc ...

What next?

This is the good with the gringos: if one believes that it has reached the maximum performance of a matter, they are already thinking about how to do something even more cool. And NASA is not who is going to disappoint. The next book I plan to edit, called Apollo of Aeronautics: NASA's Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program, 1973-1987 , is a matter at least as exciting, just as driven by the global oil crisis, NASA initiated a program aimed at reducing the 15 years oil consumption of aircraft by 50%. And guys, eye, not Clive Cussler says: he tells the very Agency.
