First; A hearty welcome to Adele Ward. I think you are the first participant here I've encountered that is openly a publisher. We haven't seen much input from that side of the industry here, and hopefully you will be able to contribute to a fuller picture. From your posts I gather that you aren't all too happy about Amazon. If that is the case, why not just by-pass them? Nothing says that you have to sell your books through Amazon, why not set up your own book selling site and then offer your selection at lower prices to other sites? That way you would gurantee a highest possible price and you could add value like on-line chats with your authors or editors. Make books available as .mobi and .epub and almost any device can dispay it. I believe you can even deliver them to peoples' Kindles directly though the name@free.kindle.com address (although that probably requires untying an ethical knot or two).
Anyway, it is very nice to have you here on the board and I look forward to more input and opinions from your side.
