The mode of unlimited subscription would not respect the law on one price
Live
The love never broke out between the France and Amazon lives a new episode, following an interview with the Minister of Culture Fleur Pellerin that, in an interview with Le Figaro, says that the giant of the ebook “ must respect the law” , as according to a report commissioned by the mediator of the book Laurence Engel, his offer Kindle Unlimited is not compatible with the French law on the single price. The offer of the American group makes it possible for only 9,99 € unlimited access to a wide selection of digital books and landed in France in December.
Already all ‘ era of the launch had already raised controversy and confusion among the largest publishing groups, which had greatly reduced the number of ebook available : the titles in English there were certain, with 700 thousand units , but only 20 thousand were those in the language of Molière, because of the lack of agreement with houses like Gallimard, Hachette, Le Seuil.
It is not the ability to subscribe itself to be wrong but, according to Pellerin, “The basic principle is that is the publisher himself having to fix the Price of the offer. A fixed fee unlimited involving more publishers from this point of view does not respect the law “.
The report of the mediator of the book Laurence Engel, former counselor of the Court of Auditors and appointed mediator of the book last September 5, in the past with numerous roles as Director for Cultural Affairs of the city of Paris and in the office of the Minister of Culture, confirms what the law of 2011 already allowed the publishers, or fix the price of the sale price for digital publications, neither more nor less than the law Lang, dating back to the eighties, provided for paper books.
stream publishing used by Kindle Unlimited also affects other national platforms to asking you to put hand to the possible fixes in terms of supply or make available in optical mediation : same goes for Amazon, of course.
