Looking over the deals on Prime Day morning, something that strikes me: no books. No ebooks either.
Is this a sign that books just don’t count so much at Amazon these days? Or if the major publishers had not insisted on agency pricing – and if they did not hate their major partner so much – maybe there would be lots of deals on books?
@asotir, yes, agency pricing is a big reason for the lack of ebook deals. Amazon can’t do deals on Big 5 published books. Of course, it doesn’t explain why they aren’t doing a big deal on Amazon imprints.
There’s a Harry Potter book in the Prime Day sales. I didn’t pay attention to which one.
I was surprised to not see a big deal on Amazon imprints but they are doing a nice discount on prepaid KU subscriptions. It would likely be worth it to me for the Open Road books alone but I’ll stick with the Free Library of Philadelphia for now.
