It's not the entire NYT bestseller list. It's the NY Times hardcover bestseller list. 15 books.

Look -- publisher's didn't go to war with Amazon for nothing. Look also at folks' response. If it wasn't that many books being subsidized, then there'd have been little complaining.

Publishers didn't go to war with Amazon to protect the consumer.

Baen isn't giving away someone ELSE's products. They aren't buying Tor books and then giving them away for free.

Reasonable point about Baen.

Aside from the fact that your absence of argument has led you to resort to insults, your insult doesn't even make any sense. There is no "free tit," nor was someone else "paying for" the "suckle." I'm not buying my books on welfare.
Publishers went to war with Amazon for their own purposes. Not to protect consumers...and the result has been detrimental to consumers.
