Another reason to steer clear of @AmazonKindle
As I have reported before, the Amazon Kindle is a lousy product.
What is more, I have repeatedly asked Amazon for an explanation as to why they are selling e-books which are plainly not fit for purpose, but I have had no reply at all.
Now, according to the Guardian, we read that Amazon are using their dominance of the e-book market to gouge money off publishers.
The Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon
Fifty Shades of … (Photo credit: Instant Vantage)
When did you first become aware of “Fifty Shades of Grey”? Perhaps if you are a man rather later than if you are a woman… about six weeks ago I noticed that this book
On Saturday the BBC reported that last week alone it sold over 200,000 copies in just the UK. But today they also reported that the book is not good news for book shops.
The book is certainly cheap to buy online – but I suspect embarrassment is also a big factor in wanting to buy an electronic copy. Hopefully that means this is just a blip and not a decisive moment in the decline of bookshop sales in Britain.
