Have you got any ? http://www.clubelcandado.com/sunnybankmedicalcentrecouk-a23d.pdf sunnybankmedicalcentre.co.uk Publishers haven't lost anything and nothing is really shifting, sorry. What is going on however is that a) Apple wanted digital content to sell devices. It could care less about books or book people, b) Amazon was first with its online and has been discounting right along, B&N tried to take them on rather than stick to core business and lost, c) e-books are grossly overpriced and publishers are to blame for their own misfortunes by becoming risk averse and following the Hollywood blockbuster model. Book pricing has always worked in reverse of other retail pricing. Instead of a "mark up" they offer a "discount" off the cover price. Margins for retailers are paper thin, always have been. The view from 30,000 feet up? Digital publishing is a partially baked pie that everyone is trying to cut up and eat before it's fully cooked. Sadly, it's not the first time this has happened but people in the business now don't want to hear about history. So repeat it.ÂÂÂ
