There is one big hole in the Cat Valente argument. People will listen to music over and over again whereas most people do not read the same novel over and over again. Putting a $15.99 album on the same level as a book really ignores the value of the album.
At the same time as the Hummingbirds fluttered from the Reagan towards Shanghai, U.S. Cyber Command launched an attack on the Shanghai Smart Power Grid. The Chinese Cyber Command immediately engaged the invisible battle of electrical impulses.
Both academic studies and real-world incidents from the 1960s through the 20-teens demonstrated the inability of the power grid to ensure a reliable service in the presence of network failures and possibly malignant actions. First, consider the complexity of mere failures.
No, actually, they really are that tired, and the amount of guileless fervor with which someone clings to them generally tells me quite a lot about the cluelessness of the person espousing them.
Conversely, in my experience, which is not trivial, people who are actually engaged in the field in a serious way (on any side of the discussion) are asking more questions and experimenting rather gnawing over these tediously reheated positions.
Then one of the Assistant Editors, R. J. Mathar, theoretically subordinate to god-emperor Dr. Neil J. A. Sloane (NJAS), accepted and published it online. I have never met f2f with Alessandro Languasco, Valentina Settimi, R. J. Mathar, nor Dr. Neil J. A. Sloane.
Some tenuous connection exists to the old world of bleached pressed wood and cloth fibers. NJAS had a printed edition of OEIS, hardly feasible now that it exceeds 180,000 web pages. NJAS edited a book which contains the collected papers of Claude Elwood Shannon, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.
As for print, I wonder if tech will ever get to teh point
where reading someting on paper will be like
listening to a vinyl record. Something only done by the
die hards who swear the experience is better than
cyberjacking a book.
I do note that the publisher you work for does not have electronic versions of at least some of their titles available. Do you believe that if they do make electronic versions available, they will want to settle on the 99 cent price point?
Nope. It might be more expensive to make a well-constructed ebook out of book for which a publisher did not originally have electronic rights than it would be to run off another 10k copies, because of the additional investment in transforming the book into electronic formats, as an example. All costs count toward production.
I think the question of which is cheaper to be made is quickly becoming irrelevant in any case, since all the production costs are now in the process of being subsumed into a single production cycle by a number of publishers (at least in the case of the initial print iteration and the electronic version together; there will be additional print costs with a switch to another print format).
My fatal error was in thinking that the sitcoms on which I grew up, and those to which I retreated from my day job, were a viable source of tactics and strategies for my survival in the early 21st century.
2. Most costs associated with digital prepress are eliminated in ebook production. The analogous costs of file conversion to ePub, Mobi, etc. are actually lower than the two or three rounds of prepress I pay for with print books. (And God forbid I upload a book twice because of some systemic error I have an in-house designer fix instead of the prepress guys!)
4. Costs associated with marketing and the like are lower since virtual shelf space is essentially infinite. A significant fraction of marketing expenditure are spent on retail accounts, to convince them to a) make a buy at all, b) make a large buy, and c) do associated in-store promotions and the like. I keep only the fraction of marketing that is aimed at individual consumers, and tada, my margins improve again!
Obviously, not every pbook is more expensive to produce than every ebook. But within each genre, it sure looks like the the pbook production costs at least as much, and sometimes considerably more, than the ebook.
Sod the price argument, eventually the market will settle on a price that maximises volume, purely because it is in their own best interest. I just want the publishers to sort out their international wrangling so that everyone has equal access to the same titles, and the authors therby get maximum return for their efforts.
If I release said professionally crafted and marketed novel as an ebook through one of the 70% royalty markets, at $3 a pop, I need to sell just 5000 copies or so to break even. There are a large number of self-published authors selling 5000+ copies a month on Amazon alone. And what do most of them have in common? Professional quality.
A future in which an author with a bit of starting capital or a moderately successful career under his belt can afford to front these costs in advance, and have his royalties unencumbered down the line.
Or should be, anyway. What folks in the industry have been telling me is that bad workflows (or lack of real workflows) are forcing ebook exports loaded with errors (often exported from an InDesign file, which is a notoriously tough export for ebook formats), and then they have to go in and manually fix all the problems, invariably missing a bunch (which is why you see odd spaces, indents, hyphens in silly places, and other poor-formatting errors in many NYC produced ebooks right now). Once they get their process down better, I think the costs for them will drop by orders of magnitude. Most of their cost issues seem to be caused by poor workflow process, making jobs that would take me a few hours eat up dozens of man hours for them.
The bottom line is that, as cool as it is to have self publishing or ePub out there, the idea that this will mean the death of publishing companies is silly. You might as well be making the case that, just because solar power is small and cheap enough that we can all (theoretically) put one on our house, this means all electric companies are going to be obsolete in the not too distant future.
No one can afford to pay over 1.00 for an e-book because they spent 189.00 on the Kindle or 100.00 on the Nook. I buy hardbacks at thrift shops for 2.00 and after reading them resell them for more than I paid.
Publishers have a number of functions. Their chief one is to invest in selected authors in terms of advances if possible, production, distribution, money collection, legal assistance, various levels of marketing. When you self-publish, you do most of the work, pay for all the costs and take all the risks. When you partner with a publisher, you do less of the work, they pay for most of the costs, they take most of the risk and have better access, and you split the profits if any. Neither approach is wrong and neither are going away because they are different options for authors.
