British media group Pearson’s Penguin unit has offered to scrap e-book deals with Apple that imposed price restrictions on Amazon and other retailers, EU antitrust regulators said on Friday.
‘Penguin offers to scrap Apple e-book deals to end EU antitrust case’
Good new for consumers I guess, but bad for writers in the long term. It’s probably not profitable being Amazon’s bitch. But I guess its the sign of the times, nobody wants to pay for shit anymore. People complain when an app is 99 cents instead of free, complain about paying for music etc.
People would rather have a free app that shoves ads up their ass with each tap, than pay $0.99 for a quality app.
