BEA News

BEA this year moved its venue from New York to Chicago, and it’s a welcome change for some booksellers, who hadn’t attended the convention in over two years. However, this means a smaller representation from the big publishing houses, as they sent fewer staff to set up the booths.

Is a flat royalty rate across all formats of a book possible? This was one of the panel discussions held at the convention.

“The idea for the flat royalty came in a debate about whether the e-book royalty rate should move from the current 25% to 50% as advocated by the guild.”

Related to this, Kobo has learned that while most book marketing is spent on millennials, those using Kobo are actually much older at 50+ years of age for both print and digital titles. Maybe because they have more time to read?
