Publishers: E-Books Don't Just Grow on Trees (Mobiledia)
Most think the success of e-books, coupled the with the absence of printing costs, means big bucks for publishers, but there is more to the story on why prices of books on the Kindle and iPad are on the rise. When Amazon first launched the Kindle, publishers maintained the wholesale model it used with traditional book retailers. But the online retailer chose to sell books on the Kindle at a loss to make its new e-reader more appealing to buyers. The strategy eventually worked out for Amazon, but left publishers a product whose price value was greatly diminished.

Jack and Jill $6.76 Adam Sandler in drag: this is the gist of Jack and Jill, and Sandler doesn’t skimp on the premise. He plays two roles, in fact: Jack is a successful L.A.

Obnoxious and passive-aggressive, she is also a lethal impersonation on Sandler’s part, a wickedly exac… |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition) $2.95 The latest entry in the Harry Potter saga could be retitled Fast Times at Hogwarts, where finding a date to the winter ball is nearly as terrifying as worrying about Lord Voldemort’s return. Thus, the young wizards’ entry into puberty (and discovery of the opposite sex) opens up a rich mining field to balance out the dark content in the fourth movie (and the stories are only going to get darker). … |
