Ebook market share and Amazone´s in selected countries
In June of 2011 Apple announced that 130 million ebooks
were sold through iTunes. In October of 2012 it
announced that 400 million sold. That means 270 million
ebooks were sold in 16 months. Or about 17 million units
per month, on average
The download rate looks paltry but we need to
remember that Apps have a very low average selling
price (about 23 cents including in-app purchases) and
that Songs are probably priced around $1.1 on average.
In contrast each ebook could be generating about $10
per download.
•Claims to serve 18
million users in 190
country and an
inventory of 4 million

•Kobo has expanded
beyond Canada,where
in 2012 it controled a
market share of 46%,

E-Book Analysis
Regarding Thecnology
Formats
1 E PUB ePub is a standard format for displaying publications combined with a system of files that gives readers the feel and finish of a traditional
book. To create a digital correction ePub files for viewing and knowledge of web layout and programming in HTML and CSS is required. The eBook in
ePub format comes in a ZIP archive which contains three types of files : Open Publication Structure ( OPS ) , Open Packaging Format ( OPF) and EEBPS
Container Format ( OCF) . The ePub format allows adapting the text of ebook the size of the screen in which the document is opened . It is a universal
format and both tablets , smartphones and e-readers are configured to successfully open format. The ePub to select the text size or open the table of
contents at the time that the user wants . There are numerous software programs for creating an ePub or Apple Pages as Adobe InDesign and other
applications like SIGIL for editing. For those wishing to outsource this service you can count on official aggregators major online stores and digitization
specialists . Usually, if the ePub contains no embedded font takes up less memory than a PDF file.
2 PDF (Portable Document Format) is a standard format for distributing documents. Save appearance, formatting, graphics and color that has the
document in its origin, is not modifiable and can be displayed in both the browser and through Internet download devices with the right features. It is
therefore possible to use any font as it is not modified by the user. For technical documents is important to count the exact number of pages or
documents with layout and images such as comics, the use of PDF is recommended as the text zoom causes no change in the display of the document
as a whole. No advanced skills are necessary for creation, while it is for creating an ePub.
AZW (Amazon Kindle) all independent
authors and publishers must ensure that the
ebook formats ePub pass the screening tests of
Kindle format. Compatible with (Kindle (AZW),
PDF, MOBI, HTML, DOC and JPG mainly)
IBA Iba is Apple’s proprietary format for books
created with its program iBooks Author. It is
very similar to ePub, but can only be sold through

DRM
DRM The system of digital rights management , known as DRM (Digital Rights Management) , links content to software
and hardware of the computers from which the content is accessed. The editorial content is recorded with a number of
user identification in a read . The role of DRM systems is to manage the digital rights of a certain content, establishing rules
for Editorial certification of digital content and monitoring the movements of contents in the network. DRM allows the
reading of those documents in a limited number of electronic devices ( computer, tablet , e-reader or smart phone )
There is not yet a standard DRM system so often and control the process is complex and involves an increase in hardware
and software costs .
ADOBE
This software is of universal
application and allows the
download of your ebook in PDF or
ePub format in a total of 6
devices.

•Users perception = Digital Prices lower than 35%
•Despite range of prices in amazon.de on week 9/2014 top 10 bestselling kindle ebooks
were priced at €2.68 on average
•Regulation fixed price e.g. DE andFR
•Digitization in develop countries will represent the 44% of the company expenses in the
next coming 5 years whereas that traditional media and channels will contribute with the
gross of revenues. ( PWC)
•Study Carried out by PWC and International Publishers Association shows that 88
investigated countries charge VAT on printed Books at reduce VAT
•Biggest publishers are getting bigger in ebooks
•In UK (2012) ebooks accounted for some 13% to 14% of all book sales in terms of units and
for a more modest 6% to 7% of revenues.
•Self - Publishing
•E.g In Canada 4 major publishing groups ( Hachette, Harper Collins…) have signed an
agreement with competition authorities to lower ebooks prices ( Livres Hedbo, 7 February 2014)
•Germany 7.14€ 13.99€

Ebooks prices & discounts in Europe
Top 10 Amazon
Kindle
Top 10 leading
domestic platforms •There are two distinctly different corridors in the price of
ebook editions of frontlist fiction titles:
1. One above €14, as seen in France, Germany
and Sweden,
2. and the other converging at around €10
• It becomes remarkably obvious that publishers’ decisions on
how much they discount an ebook against the print edition
of the same titles is still highly experimental in many markets.
In the widely diverse markets of Germany, France and Italy,
and after highly different trajectories, a certain equilibrium of
around 25 to close to 30 percent discount from print seems to
emerge.
•Spain with its very specific crisis related economic context, a
much higher level of around 50 percent between the price
for bestselling print titles and their ebook edition stabilizes
•Sweden and the Netherlands have not yet found a clear
level of ebook pricing, and discounting at all.
•These differences not only highlight the very broad range of
prices and discounts among ebook frontlist titles but also
emphasize that ebooks, even in the early stages of their
emergence, have a strong tendency to dissolve the notion of
books as one integrated, homogeneous market segment.
(*)Source: Ebook 2014 Report
DE Case Study ( 8% of total industry)
•The average retail price of a printed book is around €12
(2013: €12.40), while the average price for an ebook is €7,58
(2013, GfK).
•Spiegel bestseller list The top 10 fiction bestsellers on the
authoritative Spiegel bestseller list in February 2014 came at
an average retail price of €19.90, while the most popular
trade paperbacks sold at roughly half this price (€9.89).
•Amazon. The opposite is true however, when it comes to
ebooks. The top 10 bestselling Kindle ebooks at Amazon.de at
the same week (9/2014) were priced at €2.68 on average,
forming an altogethjer different corridor of books selling in
their majority at unter €5.
• Börsenverein in November 2013 By contrast, a top 10 ebook
bestseller list published had an average ebook price of
€13.54. Perhaps even more, ranging from €6.99 (which is
below the average print paperpack) to 19.99 (which equals
the average print hardcover.
• Libri leading German wholsaler’s own retail arm, had a
middle of €7.79, with again a wide price range from €2.99 to
€16.99.
the consensus among publishers to informally apply fixed
prices to ebooks is having lower effect when the offer of
ebooks now comes not anymore from just the well
established publishing houses. Instead, new digital only
ventures, ebook divisions specializing on certain genres, and
most importantly, selfpublished titles, and books available
only through Amazon largely dilute and diversify what
readers can buy.

Royalties & Fees
(*)Source: Vooks
(*)All percentages quoted are of the actual price
at which your book is sold, not the recommended
retail price. Sometimes distributors will choose to
discount your book; if this occurs your royalty may
be calculated according to the discounted rate.
Please note also that this chart is applicable only to
authors and publishers dealing directly with the
distributors—approved aggregators, such as Vook,
can secure higher royalty rates in
some instances.
E-Book Analysis
As New Services Track Habits, the E-Books
Are Reading You
Tracking Habits
(*)Source: The New York Times
•The move to exploit reading data is one aspect of how consumer analytics is making its
way into every corner of the culture
•Amazon and Barnes & Noble already collect vast amounts of information from their e-
readers but keep it proprietary. Now the start-ups — which also include Entitle, a North
Carolina-based company — are hoping to profit by telling all.
•Scribd is just beginning to analyze the data from its subscribers. Some general insights: The
longer a mystery novel is, the more likely readers are to jump to the end to see who done it.
People are more likely to finish biographies than business titles, but a chapter of a yoga
book is all they need. They speed through romances faster than religious titles, and erotica
fastest of all.
•At Oyster, a top book is “What Women Want,” promoted as a work that “brings you inside
a woman’s head so you can learn how to blow her mind.” Everyone who starts it finishes it.
On the other hand, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.’s “The Cycles of American History” blows no
minds: fewer than 1 percent of the readers who start it get to the end.
•“Self-published writers are going to eat this up,” said Mark Coker, the chief executive of
Smashwords, a large independent publisher. “Many seem to value their books more than
their kids. They want anything that might help them reach more readers.”
Quinn Loftis, a writer of young adult paranormal romances who lives in western Arkansas,
interacts extensively with her fans on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Goodreads, YouTube,
Flickr and her own website. These efforts at community, most of which did not exist a
decade ago, have already given the 33-year-old a six-figure annual income. But having
actual data about how her books are being read would take her market research to the
ultimate level.

One above €14, as seen in France, Germany and Sweden, 2. and the other converging at around €10 • It becomes remarkably obvious that publishers’ decisions on how much they discount an ebook against the print edition of the same titles is still highly experimental in many markets. In the widely diverse markets of Germany, France and Italy, and after highly different trajectories, a certain equilibrium of around 25 to close to 30 percent discount from print seems to emerge. •Spain with its very specific crisis related economic context, a much higher level of around 50 percent between the price for bestselling print titles and their ebook edition stabilizes •Sweden and the Netherlands have not yet found a clear level of ebook pricing, and discounting at all. •These differences not only highlight the very broad range of prices and discounts among ebook frontlist titles but also emphasize that ebooks, even in the early stages of their emergence, have a strong tendency to dissolve the notion of books as one integrated, homogeneous market segment.

  • 30. DE Case Study ( 8% of total industry) •The average retail price of a printed book is around €12 (2013: €12.40), while the average price for an ebook is €7,58 (2013, GfK). •Spiegel bestseller list The top 10 fiction bestsellers on the authoritative Spiegel bestseller list in February 2014 came at an average retail price of €19.90, while the most popular trade paperbacks sold at roughly half this price (€9.89). •Amazon. The opposite is true however, when it comes to ebooks. The top 10 bestselling Kindle ebooks at Amazon.de at the same week (9/2014) were priced at €2.68 on average, forming an altogethjer different corridor of books selling in their majority at unter €5. • Börsenverein in November 2013 By contrast, a top 10 ebook bestseller list published had an average ebook price of €13.54. Perhaps even more, ranging from €6.99 (which is below the average print paperpack) to 19.99 (which equals the average print hardcover. • Libri leading German wholsaler’s own retail arm, had a middle of €7.79, with again a wide price range from €2.99 to €16.99. the consensus among publishers to informally apply fixed prices to ebooks is having lower effect when the offer of ebooks now comes not anymore from just the well established publishing houses. Instead, new digital only ventures, ebook divisions specializing on certain genres, and most importantly, selfpublished titles, and books available only through Amazon largely dilute and diversify what readers can buy.

  • 33. Tracking Habits (*)Source: The New York Times •The move to exploit reading data is one aspect of how consumer analytics is making its way into every corner of the culture •Amazon and Barnes & Noble already collect vast amounts of information from their e- readers but keep it proprietary. Now the start-ups — which also include Entitle, a North Carolina-based company — are hoping to profit by telling all. •Scribd is just beginning to analyze the data from its subscribers. Some general insights: The longer a mystery novel is, the more likely readers are to jump to the end to see who done it. People are more likely to finish biographies than business titles, but a chapter of a yoga book is all they need. They speed through romances faster than religious titles, and erotica fastest of all. •At Oyster, a top book is “What Women Want,” promoted as a work that “brings you inside a woman’s head so you can learn how to blow her mind.” Everyone who starts it finishes it. On the other hand, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.’s “The Cycles of American History” blows no minds: fewer than 1 percent of the readers who start it get to the end. •“Self-published writers are going to eat this up,” said Mark Coker, the chief executive of Smashwords, a large independent publisher. “Many seem to value their books more than their kids. They want anything that might help them reach more readers.” Quinn Loftis, a writer of young adult paranormal romances who lives in western Arkansas, interacts extensively with her fans on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Goodreads, YouTube, Flickr and her own website. These efforts at community, most of which did not exist a decade ago, have already given the 33-year-old a six-figure annual income. But having actual data about how her books are being read would take her market research to the ultimate level.
