As Kindle Authors Make Their Own Bestsellers, Are Traditional Publishers the Vanity Presses of 2011?

Some interesting developments lately with Kindle Store bestsellers and bestselling authors….

First, congratulations to several Kindle Nation sponsors who have recently soared into the top 100 in the Kindle Store, and in some cases onto the USA Today bestseller list as well! Here’s where some of our past or current sponsors stand as I write this:

  • David Lender‘s Trojan Horse is #47 in the Kindle Store, up from #11,941 prior to its first sponsorship on February 19
  • Debbie Mack‘s Least Wanted is #55 and her Identity Crisis is #65 and #139 on the USA Today list (up from #3,374 and #1,048 before their first sponsorship January 18)
  • Victorine E. Lieske‘s Not What She Seems is #86 in the Kindle Store, up from #8,000+ before her first sponsorship in September, and was on the USA Today list ealier this month
  • And last but most definitely not least, colleague Abhi Sing of Kindle Review and his Seven Dragons team hold the #1 spot on the Kindle Store bestseller list with their magical and revolutionary Notepad app for the Kindle, which is currently featured as the Kindle App of the day here at Kindle Nation!

Meanwhile, we covered former CIA covert ops agent Barry Eisler‘s announcement the other day on Joe Konrath‘s blog that he has walked away from a half-million dollar St. Martin’s Press deal for his next two books in order to publish them directly via the Kindle and other platforms. “Direct publishing” is the new “self-publishing,” in case you hadn’t noticed, and it may be a more apt phrase since it is the platforms offered by new digital technologies such as the Kindle, rather than anything that we as authors have invented, that allow us to public and connect directly with readers.

Ruth Harris' novel Decades, a future bestseller at 99 cents?

Eisler’s move has been widely hailed as a major development requiring — I’m sorry, there’s just not a pretty way to put this — very large cojones. And I agree, but courageous moves are seldom significant unless they blaze a trail for others. What may be most important about what Eisler has done is that there will soon be plenty more authors of distinction who follow a similar path to bring their previously published and newly published books directly to Kindle readers and other digital platforms, and it will be interesting to see how they go about the process of building fresh connections with readers, absent the usual intermediaries and gatekeepers.

One of these authors of distinction who comes naturally to mind is New York Times bestselling novelist Ruth Harris, whose Husbands and Lovers is today’s Kindle Nation Daily sponsor. Harris has sold millions of print copies of smart, stylish novels that have been translated into 19 languages and selected by the Literary Guild and Book-of-the-Month Club, and she recently brought back Husbands and Lovers, Decades and Love and Money as direct-to-Kindle offerings. Husbands and Lovers jumped from #55,528 to #5,275o on the Kindle Store bestseller list during the past few hours, and the author is priming the pump by offering Decades at a promotional price of just 99 cents. It will be interesting to see how the New York Times plays it when Harris sells enough directly published ebooks to qualify for bestseller lists, as I believe she will. The Times has taken an utterly indefensible, know-nothing stance to keep its bestseller list free of self-published authors, but if the self-published author is a former New York Times bestselling author, will she still be barred entry?

But not everyone is moving away from traditional publishers toward direct publishing. Along comes the amazing Amanda Hocking today — according to this New York Times scoop — to sign a … are you sitting down? … deal for over $2 million with MacMillan’s St. Martin’s Press for her next series, whose working series title is “Watersong.” Hocking, 26, blogged very eloquently on Tuesday about some of the reasons — in addition to the two million obvious ones — she might be interested in a traditional publishing contract. And who can blame her?

But I have to wonder how her ebooks will do if MacMillan and St. Martin’s price them in the $11.99 to $14.99 range which publishers stupidly claim is the right price for newly released ebooks. Currently Hocking has 6 titles among the Kindle Store’s Top 100 bestsellers, but they are all priced between 99 cents and $2.99. Could agency model pricing ruin the Amanda Hocking franchise?

While this is the first ebook-to-traditional publishing contract narrative to ascend to the rarified air of  the $2 million advance, there have been a few other cases where authors signed nice contracts after doing very well previously with direct-to-Kindle ebooks. A couple of years ago Boyd Morrison made a big splash when he sold enough copies of his self-published novel The Ark to crack the Kindle Store bestseller list’s Top 100 and he parlayed it into a multiple-title contract with agency model publisher Simon and Schuster. The Ark was reissued for about three times its original Kindle Store price, although Morrison’s royalty rate is less than it would be if he had published it directly at the more reader-friendly $2.99 price. Not surprisingly, The Ark has created far less buzz the second time around.

Lately it keeps occurring to me that the big traditional corporate publishers are the vanity presses of 2011. Obviously, when an author is offered a deal such as Hocking’s, nobody will blame her for signing on the line. But Morrison’s example suggests there may be plenty of others who sign away their rights for far less than they are worth because of some romantic and outmoded sense of what it means, or used to mean, to land a book deal.

Kindle Pricing Analysis: Number of Kindle Bestsellers Priced Below $2.99 Has Tripled Since December, But Publishers Are Also Finding Buyers at Prices Above $10

By Stephen Windwalker
Editor, Kindle Nation Daily
Posted March 9, 2011

In the last issue of our Kindle Nation weekly digest we noted the existence of some worrisome headlines for Kindle enthusiasts, but we breezily dismissed them with a promise that we would be back this week with some analysis that supports a more hopeful view. Since it has been a little over three months since our last in-depth analysis of Kindle book pricing back on December 3, it’s time for a new price check on Aisle 5, and perhaps in the process we’ll be able to see why we’re a long way from coming to the end of the Kindle Revolution.

Two headlines jump out of the clutter of all the statistics:

  • Proportionally, the selection of titles priced between $2.99 and $9.99 continues to grow significantly, and the percentage of “outlier” titles above and below that price range has declined dramatically.
  • However, where bestsellers are concerned the trend is just the opposite. Among the Top 100 paid bestsellers in the Kindle Store, the number priced above $9.99 had grown slightly from 26 to 30 over the last three months, and — much more dramatically — the number of Top 100 paid bestsellers priced below $2.99 tripled from 10 to 30 between December 2 and March 7!


The juxtaposition of these two headlines is fascinating, and suggests the following:

  • The obvious pricing tug-of-war continues, and Amazon appears to have decided that it can have it both ways by combining popular, quality low-priced offerings by (mostly) indie authors with corporate publishers’ new releases priced mostly in the $9.99-$12.99 range preferred by publishers. My sense is that we hear less and less from Amazon about $9.99 new releases these days, and the company has pivoted so that much of its marketing muscle on pages such as this is devoted to books priced in the $11.99 to $14.99 range.
  • While this shift in emphasis has been very profitable for Amazon and appears to have been accepted by enough Kindle customers to allow ebooks priced over $9.99 to claim 30% of the rungs on the bestseller list, 30% may not be a high enough share to call this a victory for the agency model. Indeed, another way to look at this is that by insisting on these higher ebook prices (compared with 2008 and 2009), the publishers have wrapped up another 30% of the bestseller list, attached a bow, and given it away to indie authors. 24 of the 30 “cheaper” ebook bestsellers are priced at just 99 cents, and they are pretty much all by indie authors who will earn millions of dollars this year and turn the membership of the Kindle Million Club upside down. The corporate publishers may be enjoying their pie, but it is a significantly smaller slice, and there’s little chance they can get back what they have so blindly given away.

Otherwise, here’s where things stood as of the afternoon of March 7, 2010, and we’ll look at the same questions we always bring to this inquiry:
Q1. What’s the overall size of the Kindle catalog and how does it compare with that of other ebook retailers?

A1. The overall count of Kindle books has been growing by about 1,000 books a day over the last three months and currently stands just above 868,000, up from 769,766 books in December. Since that figure includes only about 15,000 public domain books, that means there’s no other ebook retailer that comes close to that count for commercially offered ebooks. Barnes and Noble inflates its Nook count with over a million public domain titles, and Apple just recently passed the 100,000-title mark in its iBooks store, which is so embarrassingly lame that Apple dropped iBooks from its Apps listings just as it was about to fall out of the Top 20 listings. (By the way, I’m still not convinced that Apple will use pricing, margins, and the totally bogus issue of in-app purchasing to try to freeze the Kindle and other ebook retailing apps off of its iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch platforms.)

Q2. How successful has Amazon been in herding prices into its preferred corral between $2.99 and $9.99, inclusive?

A2. The number of titles priced in this range is at 66.1 percent, the highest it has been at any time in the past year. As a percentage of the overall catalog, titles in the $2.99-$9.99 range are up 3.25% since we checked in December, while there are proportionally 10.2% fewer titles priced under $2.99 and 1.5% fewer titles priced at $10 and up. The growth of titles in the $2.99-$9.99 range has been supported both by the fact that Kindle pays indie authors who conform to this pricing range almost twice the royalty rate that is otherwise available to them and by the frequently stated resistance of many Kindle customers to prices above $9.99. Again, the largest area of growth has been for titles priced at exactly $2.99. After growing from 18,804 to 29,042 between September 5 and December 2, this group expanded to 45,528 in our latest look-in.

Q3. How successful have the big agency model publishers and their Black Knight, Apple anti-reading crusader Steve Jobs, been in raising Kindle Store prices above $10?

A3. The Agency Model, if you’ve come a little late to this party, is a baldly anti-consumer price-fixing conspiracy (I wish I didn’t have to use that word, but sometimes a conspiracy is just that, a conspiracy) that was hatched at the beginning of 2010 by some combination of Steve Jobs and executives of five of the Big Six publishers, with Random House abstaining. The stated goal was to mandate retail prices for Kindle books, and all other ebooks under the agency model publishers’ control, at levels that would be 30 to 50 percent higher than the $9.99 price that Amazon had previously set for Kindle Store new releases. The only slightly less obvious unstated goal was to slow the migration of readers from print books to ebooks. (Retailers had always had the freedom to discount as they saw fit from the publishers’ suggested retail prices in the past, and Amazon had in fact been selling many Kindle titles as loss leaders.) Since the Agency Model went into effect on April Fool’s Day, the percentage of the Kindle Store catalog priced in agency-model heaven at $10 and up has fallen from 21.7% to 19.2% on May 22, 18.8% on June 14, 18.1% on July 18, 16% on September 5, 15.3% on December 2, and 15.04% as of yesterday. Alas, as of last week Random House has joined the rest of the Big Six in the price-fixing game, and just as quickly it has seen serious slippage in the advantage it held previously in the Kindle Store bestseller list: the three previously discounted books in the Stieg Larsson trilogy were #5, #8, and #9 for the month of February but by yesterday had fallen to #9, #15, and #23, and Abraham Verghese’s Cutting for Stone fell all the way from #14 to #32 in its first week under the unforgiving agency-model regimen.

Q4. Has there been a significant change in the title count for Kindle books priced under $2.99 since Amazon began paying a 70 percent royalty for books in the $2.99 to $9.99 range?

A4. The proportional representation of Kindle books at every price point under $2.99 (free, 99 cents, under 99 cents, and $1.00 to $2.98) has fallen dramatically since December.

Q5. Overall, are ebook prices going up or down or staying about the same?

A5. It’s fair to say at this point that ebook pricing is moving in all directions at once. Publishers, authors, readers, and Amazon itself are digging in in various places to defend various pieces of what they see as their turf, and we’ll stay tuned.

Q6. Are there changes in the price composition of the Kindle Store’s key bestseller list, the Top 100 Paid Books?

A6. Since we addressed the Kindle Store bestseller list above, this seems like a good place to mention that ebooks continue to strengthen their hold on the USA Today bestseller list, relative to hardcover and paperback books. As of last week’s list 20 of the top 50 USAT bestsellers were titles for which ebook sales were dominant, compared with 10 for which hardcovers sold the most copies and 20 for which paperback sales led the way. Kindle Store stars held down 7 of the top 150 places on the USAT list, six of those belonging to Amanda Hocking and one to Nancy Johnson. Look for Donovan Creed creator John Locke to crack the USAT list  when it is released tomorrow.

Q7. Are there any noteworthy trends with respect to free books in the Kindle Store?

A7. Although there are fewer free books in the Kindle Store than there were in December, it is worth pointing out that the reduction in free books has been among duplicate public domain titles rather than among the free promotional contemporary titles that populate Kindle Nation’s daily Free Book Alert posts.
