Penguin Opens Online Library

Aug 28, 2001

More on Penguin's new eBook program, including info on pricing,CRLF specifically, that Penguin eBooks will cost 20 percent less than the print version. I will let media criticCRLF Steve Outing express the view I share: "That's nowhere near enough of a discount to encourageCRLF e-reading, and it doesn't take into account (and pass along to the consumer) the cost savings of notCRLF having to physically print and distribute books. At those rates, the Penguin e-library will be a failure."CRLF By Owen Gibson, Guardian Unlimited, August 21, 2001
