[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 2179293, member: 3477"] Your next Excel table will be about the costs per word, I suppose :D? j/k Well, I find some aspects of the table interesting, as they reflect different business strategies and/or market values. I suppose Monte's prices for pdf's build on the fact that many customers might buy both, pdf and print editions. You usually can buy the pdf a few months upfront, and if you like the product - which is quite often the case ;) - you might buy the printed book as well. Incidentally, Malhavoc is the only company, where I sometimes own both, pdf and print editions of the same publication, except one EN world publishing title. The other trend that I noticed was that some of the recent pdf publications had prices that exceeded typical print book prices on a price per page basis. Of course, printing of, let's say, a 40 page booklet would be more expensive, but for a print publication the page count would most probably upped to at least 96. If this product then contains no art or only 2 pieces, the pricing gets a bit questionable to me. Of course, this is my personal meter that I apply; value is always a very personal thing ;). [/QUOTE]
