"Amazon is one of a number of companies (Sony is another) which have developed electronic devices which deliver books, newspapers and other printed matter without using paper. This is a growing market, with technology evolving rapidly. In the not too distant future it is thought that mobile phones and other devices will perform a similar service. How though are such devices priced?Case QuestionWrite a 2-3 page paper in which you answer the following case question:Amazon's Kindle 2.0 was priced at $359 and delivery started in February 2009. The price was dropped to $300 in July after a newer model with a larger screen, the Kindle DX, was launched, priced at over $400. In January 2010 Apple announced the launch of the iPad, the lowest priced version of which was to sell for $499. Assume that you are in charge of the pricing of the Kindle models. Explain what methods are open to you to price your products and the factors that you should take into account in deciding on these prices. Then assume that you are responsible for deciding the future pricing of Kindle models over the next year. What prices are being charged now and what would you recommend Amazon charge? Why? In answering this case question aim to demonstrate your learning not only of the materials from MOD05, but also those from MOD01-04.Ensure that you repeat the case question in full and verbatim on the title page of your submission. Excluding your title and reference pages, your paper should be no more than three pages long. Place any detailed calculations in an appendix, (not counted in the page limit), after the references. Please submit your case for grading by the end of this module.CASE EXPECTATIONSIt is expected that you will use information from the background readings as well as the case articles and any good quality sources you can find.
