Actually I think "Stonetools" presents that aspect of the issue correctly. The point
he addressed was more to the nature of a segment of the ebook buying public that
such comparison invokes. The publishers will have to face the results of their actions.
One big result is having to make retail marketing decisions, something they have not
that much experience with. So far, it looks to me that the major players are not doing
that bad, with the pricing and ebook release of the big sellers. There may still be some
who are trying to price ebook and pbook the same, on release; or those who make for
a major delay between pbook and ebook marketing, but they are likely to come around
as the numbers change.
Luck;
