I mean a new release ebook for $6 with no DRM, geo restrictions and available in any choice of format any time is not going to last is it? At least, that is what the agency 5 gang would have us believe.
I understand their *pricing scheme* fine (and not having to pay Amazon 30% for distributing their books means that they probably make about the same on a $6 book as they would on a $9. What I don't understand is that they *also* make these books available for free. So you don't have to pay even the $6.
