Filed under: Retail , Software , Internet , iPad John Siracusa drew my attention to an article by Macmillan CEO John Sargent on the agency model, availability and price , in which he says that the company actually plans to keep their hardcover/paperback separation even while selling ebooks. While new hardcover ebooks will sell for $14.99 and $12.99 (”a tremendous discount from the price of the printed hardcover books”), the company will aim to sell “ebook editions of paperback new releases” for as low as $6.99. As Siracusa goes on to say, “now let us all sit back and ponder the concept of ‘paperback’ and ‘hardcover’ ebooks.” Macmillan is sticking with an old pricing scheme even in a brand new marketplace.

Philips has been on somewhat of a roll with new releases overseas, and the outfit’s new SoundSphere might just be the most intriguing yet. Generally speaking, home stereos don’t do much for us, but the minty fresh MCi900 and MCD900 definitely add a fresh touch on an age-old concept. Both systems are equipped with a pair of speakers, 100 watts of amplification and “free floating” tweeters that are outside of the enclosure.
