Books, and the iTunes Problem

rifle by the internet and teetering on the edge of the material ebook rotation , the print world is clearly afraid of what ’s next . But their spooky plans to shoehorn digital books into the old publication cycle are stupid . And doomed .

Simon & Schuster sees what ’s happening : veridical masses are buying ebooks now , and the market place , in its infancy , is forming wont and prospect . Like bestseller for just 10 one dollar bill — bestsellers that sell for 30 dollars in their hardcover class . Or should , anyway , but the devaluation of diction hasbeen trickling overto real books too , since nobody nooky with Walmart , and they ’ve been aggressively monetary value matching , resulting in all out price state of war .

It ’s the worst of all possible scenario : Publishers are n’t just make less money on ebooks , but on the report 1 too . And citizenry will get the sick mind in their psyche that that ’s what books are worth , the same way we all think a birdcall is worth 99 cents . ( Or , um , nothing to the unscrupulous . )

So Simon and Schuster ’s program is to plug ebooks into their own exceptional place in the publication cycle : Four months after hardcover . mean you ’ll have to wait 1/3 of a yr after a book ’s published to read it on a Kindle or Nook or pad of paper or whatever . It establishes a economic value power structure , that look , as the WSJ point out a lot like the theatrical release cycle for moving-picture show . It ’s straight , the picture industry has fared well than the medicine industry in carry on the sensing of value of their content . But if you look , digital motion-picture show have slowly crept up to be same - day as DVD . They ’re just really damn expensive—15 sawbuck .

It ’s hard for the publication industry to do the same matter — appoint a agiotage for the digital variant — since they ’re try out to get this whole ebook thing off the ground , not to mention the experience just is n’t as full as a real Word , at least not yet . They ’re still trying to snitch mass . It ’s not an easy place to be , at least not until the ebook experience stack up more definitively with the real record one . Making people hold off 4 months to grease one’s palms books on their Kindle will , at full , just hurt ebooks , because no one wants to expect for new stuff , least of all , language . At worst , it ’ll put people off of grease one’s palms those book entirely — they’ll waitress for them to attain nook at $ 10 , but’ll have lost pastime by the time it comes out . And then the publishing house ’s still screwed . More to the point , like the music industry found out , and as the flick and television receiver business is struggling with , the newfangled manakin is cash in one’s chips to go against the old one , and arbitrary limitations , will fall like the stagnant trees they impress things on .
