Amazon Now Discounting HarperCollins EBooks

Posted by Unknown on from the publishing-industry-found-crying-in-corner dept.

Nate the greatest writes "Late last week three publishers and the Department of Justice finalized an agreement to settle the claims that the publishers conspired to raise ebook prices. One of the terms of the agreement was that publishers were going to have to allow ebook retailers like Amazon to set the price of ebooks. Today it looks like the new prices have gone into effect. Amazon, B&N, and a small indie ebookstore called BooksonBoard are all offering HarperCollins ebooks at a discount. B&N and Amazon seem to be using the same price book, while BoB is having a 24% off sale."

    Aw, c'mon: can't you at least spare a little love for the bagpipe link? And no, I make no money off blog. Purely a topical riff.
