SURVEY: best and worst moves of the e/publishers
Hello,
I was wondering what the readers of this great forum think are the good and the bad choices publishers did or are doing with regards to ebooks and why.
I would like to include the big players and also the small ones, the national and the international ones, the English related and the non English related ones, those that work only online and those that also have stores and so on.
Choices can be related to anything, from the technical things (drm, closed formats, making ereaders, interoperability etc. ), and to marketing/business (easiness of purchase, distribution, royalties taken form authors, pricing, discounts, merges, cooperations etc.).
After the post gets enough answers, I will write a post with the results well organised, in the hope that it will be of use to anyone interested in the subject. A sort of picture of the actual situation, of the previous trends and the future ones.
Thank you,
Clemens
