Yeah, this doesn't bother me so much. It's the author setting their price, They can still give out coupon codes for use on Smashwords, and I get a book DRM free in the format of my choice.
So you guys are going to stop supporting independent authors with DRM free books because the pricing scheme vaguely sounds like the big publishers, even though the books are still usually extremely cheap? Especially since the most discount you would see on these books elsewhere was maybe at the most 25% off?
Sounds silly to me. I dont usually get frustrated with the crowd here, but come on people, pick your battles.
