I guess prices should be higher, since apple would be taking a 50% bite out of every single book purchase :P

Or instead of a-book-per-app you could get bookshelf ( http://www.iphonebookshelf.com/) and load as many books as you want, including books from Baen (http://baen.com), both free and for pay…that’s what I’ve been doing for a while, and it works pretty damn well for my 3-to-5-books-per-week vice :)

”Why not throw in a standard reader, and let publishing houses peddle their goods to the consumer as musicians and application developers can?”…Umm, let’s see, maybe because the publishing industry doesn’t want to eventually be forced to sell all books for 99 cents and to suffer the same price pressures and low margins as the music industry? writers can’t go on tour…

eReader is already available for the iPhone

What the article fails to note is WHY Amazon’s Kindle titles are so much cheaper: at this point, Amazon is taking a loss on them to make the Kindle THE ebook reader. While they’re taking a loss now, they’ll soon be forcing publishers to give them the ebooks at a lower rate, which will in turn mean less money for authors. If the publishing industry were smart (and they aren’t — and I’m a member!), they’d make sure that the Kindle didn’t become the iPod of ebooks.

As a book publisher I think ScrollMotion is more like a experiment, not an investment. Those big guys will probably sell like 10-20 titles and move on to another app solution.

I’m definitely sticking with eReader. Several deal-breakers for me with this one.

Great article. I’m an avid reader and traveler. Its great that I can get through the horrible lines at the airport without lugging heavy books along with my luggage. I did enjoy the Classics on the iPhone but these ScrollMotion apps kick butt in comparison. They are alittle pricey but I’m sure they will work out pricing soon. Well worth the money though.
