Who thinks that having different "prices" for the same digital file is a good thing? Meaning we only need one retailer/server for our texts, as long as that server is accessible to everyone.
This experiment by Amazon is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't go far enough though...
Subscribe to server, download books, authors are paid out based on number of downloads? What if I download the book but only read a few pages, to be honest I haven't read the fine print on this KDP Select program... But I assume that we do not have AI strong enough to recognize that I have not enjoyed a book, hence the current need? for star ratings and such.
For this program to be most effective at uncovering new literary talent, a payment cap must be implemented...
