And I think that the "sour grapes" isn't even really reflected on this board. There has been a bit of grumbling lately coming from the traditional publishing establishment about the popularity of the low cost Indie Published book - not to mention that "sale" that Amazon just ran on a whole slew of non-Agency priced books where a bunch of prices dropped down to Indie levels. We're right back to the "How dare the devalue the perception of literature!" again.

I don't think it's any co-incidence that Hatchette, MacMillan and Harper Collins have all put a pretty big list on sale at around $2.99. There's a huge market of book buyers down in that lower price range there isn't going to be a void of sellers willing to make money from them - whether they're "Indie" or traditionally published.
