Amazon’s UK eBook Pricing Lower than Competition no comments

The Register is reporting that Amazon’s ebook pricing is lower than that of other sellers in the UK. A sample of 36 books that the Register compared was around 30 percent less than the same ebooks at Waterstones, and almost 25 percent cheaper than WH Smith. The ebooks at Waterstones were actually more expensive than the paper copies.
In the US Amazon offered lower prices on ebooks until the agency model, which lets publishers set the prices of their ebooks, took effect. For titles coming from publishers who have not adopted the agency model (Random House, of course, being the largest of these) prices are still usually lower at the Kindle Store.
