iPad ad – - Sunday night during Oscars ceremony is being held, an iPad television ad come into sight giving us an idea what iPad’s function can do more and revelation of book pricing is incorporated.

A price of 8 to 15 USD  was clearly displayed for some books. Like “Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Journey to Change the World… One Child at a Time” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin is priced at 7.99USD, while  Sen. Edward Kennedy’s “True Compass: A Memoir” is listed for 14.99USD

Through Appleinsider’s contrast reports, 19.25USD and 7.19USD are the given prices on the Kindle, correspondingly. There was a report of a leaked list primarily on iBookstore titles and prices in late February however, this is Apple’s first official indication of pricing for the record, the file that was been reported corresponds with all of the prices above. It appears that the list of price above was noteworthy to be included in New York Times bestsellers as a split category, which brings into line with the vigilant scrutiny of Alejandro, a reader;  he noticed the idiosyncratic Times logo in an iBooks app at the bottom line of the screen at the last part of the ad.

For other titles, we may expect to distinguish at launch are “The Last Song” by Nicholas Sparks for 9.99USD, followed by “U is for Undertow” by Sue Grafton for 12.99USD and lastly “The Wrecker” by Clive Cussler for 12.99USD by just looking on the leaked list.

Kindle and Nook currently dominates into the ebook market from the iBooks application represents Apple’s first foray. The competition is blazingbefore the iPad even hits stores, as HarperCollins and Macmillan have forced Amazon to re-visit their pricing policies. This January of this year, before the introduction of iPad , Adoption of 70/30 revenue split the App Store uses by Amazon. A grand battle will erupt which only means one thing: Better choices and products for us, the customers!
