Murdoch: More E-readers Coming
By David B. Wilkerson
MarketWatch Pulse
CHICAGO -- News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch reiterated on Wednesday his dissatisfaction with Amazon.com , which has made The Wall Street Journal available on its Kindle e-reader. Murdoch, speaking during a conference call, noted that News Corp. gets about $6 to $6.50 for every $15 Journal subscription Amazon sells on the Kindle. "That is not a great deal," he said. "Amazon treats those people as their customers, not our customers." Murdoch said there will probably be "half a dozen" e-readers of some kind on the market eventually, and News Corp. will be open to deals with the distributors of those devices. "As long as we get a [sufficient] portion of the revenue."
