Stephen R. Covey Grants E-Book Rights to Amazon - NYTimes.com - 0 views

copyright e-publishing Amazon Kindle business model

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 16 Dec 09 - Cached
  • Amazon, maker of the popular Kindle e-reader and one of the biggest book retailers in the country, will have the exclusive rights to sell electronic editions of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” and a later work, “Principle-Centered Leadership.” Mr. Covey also plans to gradually make other e-books available exclusively to Amazon, which will promote them on its Web site.
  • The move promises to raise the already high anxiety level among publishers about the economics of digital publishing and could offer authors a way to earn more profits from their works than they do under the traditional system.
  • Many authors and agents say that because the contracts for older books do not explicitly spell out electronic rights, they reside with the author. Big publishing houses argue that clauses like “in book form” or phrases that prohibit “competitive editions” preclude authors from publishing e-books through other parties.

  • Right now, the electronic-book market finds itself roughly in the same place the market for MP3s was in 1999, the year after the release of the first portable MP3 player.
  • But that could change in a matter of months if the book industry insists on 1) jacking up the price of e-books and 2) withholding potential best-sellers from the e-book market.
  • "Publishers are in denial about the economics of digital content,"

  • Does the book industry want to join the digital flow, the way the TV industry has with Hulu and TV.com? Or by its obstruction does it intend to encourage the establishment of a Bookster?

  • drawbacks to e-books, at least the way Amazon and Apple sell them. They don't really sell e-books; they merely let me read them, and in the process remove my rights
  • But there are major
  • to do what I want with what I've purchased
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The ability to give away or sell a used book is called the “First Sale Doctrine” in copyright law. But by sending me a digital file and tethering that file to a specific device, Amazon and the publishers have removed my right to transfer it, and thereby destroyed a portion of the book's value. By all rights they should offer me a better price, considerably better, than the hardcover (or, for that matter, softcover) edition. Is a few hours' worth of portability worth everything else I lose?

    This post was originally published on the Frankfurt Bookfair blog on 11th August. Reposted here with kind permission from its author, Huw Alexander, Rights & Digital Sales Manager for SAGE in London. EveryThink: What do you think, Huw Alexander? We think that e-books are a playground for publishers - and not a necessary evil.

  • You call the shots. You retain the rights to your book. And you take home a bigger royalty than you'd normally get from a traditional publisher--if you sell any books.
  • Many argue--and I agree--that Amazon's shrewd CEO Jeff Bezos is leveraging his company's position as the largest bookstore in the world to corner the market for print-on-demand, electronic publishing (Kindle), and completely shift the paradigm for publishing.

  • we frequently encounter the strawman-esque argument “why should the author get paid less just because it’s an ebook?” To which I’d reply, “Why should the consumer pay more for the privilege of giving up rights, quality, and flexibility?”
