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

  • 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.

  •  
    "A broad definition would burst the content farm media bubble - there are far more news sites than consumers could possibly need - which has been growing the last few years. By the same token, such a move would leave legit news sites - such as the Times - riding higher in the rankings. Google could, in other words, kill off much of the competition that has vexed traditional media on the web in a single blow."
