Amazon Won't Let UK Publishers Set eBook Prices

UK publishers will not get to set eBook pricing for Amazon’s new UK Kindle store. This is a shift from the U.S. model, in which publishers do finally get to set the price.

It will be interesting to see if publishers accept this or choose to push Amazon to adopt an agency model, as happened in the United States.

Steve Kessel, senior vice president of Amazon Kindle told The Bookseller, that the UK is the only market outside the United States that will have a localized Kindle store.
