Kind of nifty.

$200 for a book? Who the hell would pay that much?

Bad name. I've already started pronouncing it as "Pube it".

Another great example of the internet promoting free press. No longer will people only be exposed to mass marketed products.

If e-book readers get a larger market share I can see this taking off and making a big impact. However I think we're still a ways away from having enough people with readers for this to really take off.

WTH!? this is the 2nd time today i quoted someone and it double quoted. For the love of god, let us edit our posts please.

i just bought a $200 textbook, and my buddy got one for over $300. though yes an ebook from an author using this service seems high.

wow are these spammers? We don't want your boots! Tom, block this guy's ISP. Some of these spammers could be working for organized terrorists.

neat, great idea on B&N's part, can't wait to see if this will take off as well as MP3 and P2P and youtube in destroying sales did to music and video companies with age old dinosaur tactic marketing.

i guess we will all just have to get used to even more grammatical error and spelling typos if there aren't any good editors or publishers to catch paradoxal mistakes or timeline errors and trim the bloat and thoughts on changing boring sections of the book. but i like this alot of they offer those particular services for the percentages they are offering the writers. paying more then $1 to download an ebook would be insane without those kinds of services involved in B&N epublishing.

Aww I was hoping for an app detailing cocktail recipes and various beers.

Dude I invented this 2007, and I'm suing, I'm very serious.

I love how this promotes the $3-10 range. I'm used to paying $8-10 for novels anyways. Though $100+ for textbooks is certainly not unheard of (and that was only in high school)...

Though taking a 60% cut on a $200 text is ridiculous.

Trolling?

 

[aje21]

So you shouldn't see any eBooks priced $10 to $16.23 because of the bizarre royalty payment system. If you do see a book in that price range then worry about the author!

Actually, this is probably a really great idea for college professors who produce a lot of material that they require in their classes. Rather than have a publisher print your textbook, why not just use Pubit? I suspect that they will get a lot more money than they would going through a regular publisher.

You have got a few errors in there, bub. For example: then/than error.
