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.

  • 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?

    I wonder if publishers can make the argument that the work done on the book as a whole (primarily editing, but the .pdf format of the eBooks are still a very popular format, so design & typesetting come into play) would preclude them from giving the author the final files to create the eBook with another publisher.
