Savvy ones also play the discounted ebook game, particularly when a new release in a series is forthcoming, so it's not just a self-publishing consideration. Traditional publishers regularly give books away to build readership, primarily through ARCs, and sometimes the finished product, too. They are removing the monetary barrier that keeps buyers from buying." It is notable that publishers have been asking questions about how come a European sale was far less profitable for them than an American sale."Those who have lowered their price to the bare minimum (99 cents or permanently free) have done so for a reason, a strategic reason: to draw interest to their books and build a fan base. And Britain is ComiXology's largest market in Europe – so when the British prices go up, so do everyone else's.Īs to the taxes and exchange rate, ComiXology has decided they have no business in subsidising the prices any more in an attempt to build marketshare outside of the USA. They can differ from America considerably but not each other. ComiXology likes to keep its European prices comparable, so that the price in France is what you pay in England as what you pay in Sweden. And why would the rest of Europe be so affected? ComiXology absorbed those increases too, making it far cheaper to buy digital comics than print comics – or even digital comics in the USA.
There have been fluctuations in the exchange rate in recent years since Brexit, and the Euro has been down against the dollar as well – though nowhere near as much as the pound.
