Quote du Jour | De grote e-book oorlog
“The fact is that publishers do not need consumers to embrace higher prices because this move isn’t intended to sell e-books, it’s intended to sell more physical books. For many people who buy e-books for their convenience, though—for the ability to take a dozen e-books on vacation, or to read a novel on a cell phone—the choice isn’t between buying an e-book or a physical book, but rather between buying an e-book or no book at all. It’s a reality faced by other industries that have moved online; if the record labels were to pull their music from iTunes, young consumers wouldn’t rush to a music store to buy CDs instead.”
