<DIV>When they started selling through itunes, all the prices went up because Apple required that prices be a minimum which was higher than the lowest priced item (short stories sold individually) they offered before signing up with the itunes sotre, and that it not be available cheaper elsewhere. So a stand-alone short went from $1.50 to $1.99. Longer works went up in price similarly. </DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Apple stipulates that the in-app price of content must be the same as elsewhere. Content owners will have to raise prices across the board if they want to stay on iOS. That means Ned will pay more so that the content providers can pay Apple. <BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table>
