PersonaNonData: Media Week 29: Education, DVDs, Ebook Sales, OCLC, CourseSmart, Target.: Publishing Strategy

PersonaNonData: Media Week 29: Education, DVDs, Ebook Sales, OCLC, CourseSmart, Target.: Publishing Strategy: "In the UK The Bookseller reports on differing approaches to revenue splits on eBook sales:

Industry sources said that a figure of 25% was becoming standard, though some admitted that it could be 'variable'. One agent said: 'Random House is the only publisher not offering 25% as its best standard rate but not all agents are getting 25% from all publishers.' Penguin m.d. Helen Fraser said: 'Our standard e-book royalty is 25% of net receipts. My sense is that the industry is probably settling between 20% and 25%. Some publishers are offering the same to everybody and some are having a gradated scale.'"
