I don't understand why publishers think their business model is some sort of sacred thing that must not change. Every business model changes, especially with the introduction of new technology. I'm sure coach makers thought Henry Ford was using "predatory pricing" with his Model Ts. I also fail to understand why they are going after Amazon and not WalMart or Target with all of their $9 hardcover shenanigans? Rubbish, all of it!
