My former division put its backlist online in 2007 with the expectation to make 500k to a million in profit. It in fact made so much money on backlist titles only, that it's 4% organic growth (a failure that was going to cause heads to roll) turned int 13% organic growth. Instead of rolling heads, it caused spinning heads as people saw dollar signs and scrambled to get anything and everything online as quickly as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-70089856297322423432009-10-15T18:55:27.978-04:002009-10-15T18:55:27.978-04:00Much of the production cost savings for e-books by...Much of the production cost savings for e-books by lowering the printing cost may be eaten up by e-book production costs, such as ensuring quality typesetting on every portable device out there. (Of course, that e-book production cost may simply be outsourced to India or elsewhere at a low price, but getting an e-book to display properly on every device doesn't happen by magic.) Plus, the demand to include multimedia content into e-books also has a significant production cost, so the price point for e-books ultimately may be more or higher than print books. <br /><br />A high price point for e-books will drive piracy. Yet, at some point, e-books may be stored in a network cloud once we get to a time when devices are always online; in that scenario, piracy becomes much more difficult. Of course, a certain % of works always will be pirated by those who have the technical know-how.Jeffhttp://sorodesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-69269891738176371522009-10-15T15:17:21.860-04:002009-10-15T15:17:21.860-04:00Very enlightening set of posts.

I'm curious - if someone wanted to generate their own P&L report for their own edification on a book, how would they go about doing something like that? Or would they need too many sales figures to make it viable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-26898069854451586532009-10-15T14:35:04.299-04:002009-10-15T14:35:04.299-04:00Eric,

Where do you keep the crystal ball?<br /><br />Considering that the YA market is one of the strongest right now, and those readers are more likely to adopt digital-anything, I would think the ratio of e-books-to-print you predict is coming sooner rather than later - at least for that market. But then I can see some markets never going digital - picture books, early readers . . . not sure which adult market would be immune.<br /><br />Thoughts?Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-81130523497243925332009-10-15T13:45:23.264-04:002009-10-15T13:45:23.264-04:00Hey Eric, Did you see this?

But the costs associated are going to be different and have to be calculated separately from traditional costs.<br /><br />Don't underestimate all the decent folks who would snatch up a pirated ebook in a minute (think bootleg movies). There's no fail-safe in this age of technology and hackers but perhaps ebooks need to be encoded for a password or access-key that is provided upon sale.PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.com
