Mixed emotions about this, i liked amazon trying to get us a good price but also want to see people rewarded for their hard work. In the end i can’t complain about a few more dollars.
Amazon has given in to publisher pressure and agreed to abandon their $9.99 price point for eBooks.
Publisher Macmillan felt that the $9.99 price devalued many of its bestsellers, which often sell for $30 in hardcover format. In response to the pricing dispute, Amazon briefly removed all Macmillan books from its store last week. However, the boycott lasted only a few days before Amazon gave in to Macmillan’s demands.
