They need to lower prices 20.99 for an ebook is nuts, they need to drop the DRM, they need to improve quality ( a ebook full of scan errors should be an embarrassment to them) The darknet copy's are often better quality then the ones they sell. They need to do something about the georestrictions. In another thread a kindle user wanted a book, it's avaliable in the US kindle store, but not the UK kindle store. He had to buy the book from a different store in epub format and has to now remove the DRM and convert it.
They need to make it easier to buy books then to pirate them and they are doing the exact opposite. They will learn just like the music industry did, They will lose business trying to control the market rather then adapting to and catering to it and they will use piracy as the excuse for there failed business model. Give them a decade they will figure it out...
