3/12/2012 To Err is to be AmazonIs it me or does anyone else think the pricing war between "store bots" at Amazon is ridiculous? Here's my logic on this subject:
-Amazon bots fight to give the best price until it goes below a dollar. -Now the book is deeply discount compared to the published price the author has placed on it. -And said author still gets the royalty price preset for every sale made. It would cost me more to buy my book with shipping through my publisher than paying under a dollar for a book with $3.99 flat shipping (if I buy in bulk). My publisher doesn't make as much money off me through my stocking needs and the Amazon bot loses ( I believe) by selling it at a loss. I am making this blog short because the discussion is expected to be overwhelming, I'm sure. Tell me your thoughts on authors using these bots to their fullest advantage. |
