It's Amazon, Not The Economist, that is Driving Up the Price
I heard a report on NPR the other day regarding the cost to publish with Amazon... Amazon gets 70% of the revenue... the publisher gets 30%. So don't think the high pricing is all the publishers fault.
I love my Kindle, I love the Economist, and I am a loyal Amazon shopper, but not at this price. I'll stick with the print edition.
Note: I left a similar comment yesterday... Amazon deleted it. Guess they don't want you to know what their cut is!!!
