Notas do Editor
- But first, let me briefly remind you what the Toronto based Kobo is about
- we wanted to:
- It is a David vs. Goliath story, we are a small warrior fighting a giant. And not just one giant…
- and yet, even against those companies, and against those odds…
- 3 rd most popular eReading app for the iPhone Also The first ebookstore for the (#)
- Now, let’s look at Europe. I’m gonna addres a couple of basic issues first, and then talk a little longer about what I see as the main developments and challenges we’re facing in Europe
- Remarkable how little we know on both sides of the Atlantic about the intricacies of the models used. EXPAND So, we’re amalgating a North American model into a European tradition with a very different perception of for instance margins and ownership of the channel. - Example of Netherlands -Reinventing the sales pitch into a digital environment - Pricing I can illustrate with a table that I lend form my much appreciated colleague Michael Tamblyn
- What we also see, is that there is no stable price policy yet. Definitely big issue for all of us to learn about -Apart from these basic issues, there is one very basic one that you hear less about:
- In the past years we’ve seen a complicated, existential debate about control of the digital supply chain. Every EU country had its own version of the debate. Also: extremely protective about local retailers, in many cases keeping out foreign retailers [slide] The big issue begging for attention here is, in my opinion, isn’t the value chain much more important on the long term? Once the Supply chain is commoditized, control doesn’t matter any longer: it’s your position in the value chain that gives you competitive strenght as a publisher. You can call it paradigm or mindset, but this is where we need to embrace the new world of ebooks and this is what pubishers find most difficult to break out off.
- Two key opportunities for Eu publishers in the changing supply chain. Selling ebooks is a very different sales activity. Once you have the metadata and pricing in place, you still got the reach the reader, and I think Eu publishers don’t fully realize yet how much their world is going to change in that respect. Kobo: Combination of the old bookseller passion with an freakish data driven marketing approach. The tools and resources would make any publishers tear up. It’s beautiful, it’s amazing, and Kobo shares it with publishers and partners.
- And with that in mind, let ’s get started.
- And with that in mind, let ’s get started.
- And with that in mind, let ’s get started.
- Eu and South America are going to be very interesting ebook markets because, of course, all global ebook retailers start more or less at the same time Some have deeper pockets than others, and others have even deeper pockets again, but The Consumer will decide…, not the the marketing budget. Different consumer experience models ermerging. Amazon: : the club med of the ebook industry, Apple, the device King of the world (but is the Ibook shop a convincing ereading experience?? [2x slide] Kobo gives you freedom to own and take your book anywhere you want, and it’ s the only platform that truly develops ereading and because of its open nature it can be a true partner to publishers and local retailers, and create with them the best reading experience. Thank you.
- We also start to provide badges and award for certain kinds of reading behaviour.
