Hachette Ebook Sales Fall in Wake of Dispute with Amazon Over Pricing
The Hachette publishing group has reported a fall in ebook sales as it continues its battle with Amazon over pricing.
The publisher of Ian Rankin and Booker prize nominee Joshua Ferris has been at loggerheads with Amazon for several months, in a row that has led the online retailer to block pre-orders and delay deliveries of some of Hachette's bestselling authors in the US.
Lagardère, the French publishing company that owns Hachette, reported on Thursday that ebook sales in the US were down.
