The basic premise of the rant is that it is possible to divide people into a couple sharply defined categories: "bargain hunters", "library readers", "hardcover buyers", to name a few. That sounds strange, most of my friends don't fit into that division, they wore each of mentioned hats throughout their lives, sometimes switching them on daily basis.
What I am certain of, is that market for books in general (paperbacks, hardcovers, trade paperbacks, ebooks) is shrinking, that book is loosing the war for young generation eyeballs.
It is up to them to pick and chose who they want to sell to.
