In summary….
Millennials are still reading and buying books, but…
They are very price conscious and are focused on the value/quality of the
book. They will pay more if they see value.
Peer reviews and recommendations are really important - whether they be online
or in-person.
Online as a discovery, and shopping, channel are hugely important, but…
Millennials still go to stores.

In summary….
Audio is a growing format for all cohorts, but even more so for millennials.
Millennials seem to be more format agnostic.
Mobile is important and still growing.

Everything You Wanted to Ask a Retailer About Pricing But Your Legal Departme...

BookNet Canada

This document summarizes a presentation by Ryan James O'Sullivan of Rakuten Kobo about eBook pricing strategies for publishers. Some key points include: - Optimal pricing is the price point on the demand curve where units sold times price is highest to maximize long-term revenue. - Customer segmentation is important, as different customer types have different preferences based on genre, price, promotions, and other factors. - Experimentation with variable pricing over time, such as price drops and promotions, can help slow the natural decline of book sales and increase revenue and readership. - Non-traditional factors like visibility, conversions, and sales data from different retailers provide more insights than list price alone
