EVP and Publisher, Open Road Integrated Media

Interview ‪starts at 15:33 and ends at 43:28

"We are not an agency publisher. So we don't have any control over the consumer price. We set the digital list price, and we don't have control over the consumer price. And Amazon is free to discount it to whatever price they want. And I would also point out that we are very aggressive in the number of and the frequency of which we promote our books in price promotions."
