The nook is widely regarded as the better e-reader device, but if you’ve accumulated a library of Kindle titles, you can’t take them with you if you decide to switch. [Technically, you can, but most users would find this quite challenging.]

Easy solution if authors and publishers are really worried about that. Quit insisting books be sold with DRM.

I don’t like losing sales, but the real problem is at the margins. Midlist authors have been struggling to survive for decades now. If you start eating into the publishers’ returns, then at the bottom of the food chain, those books are just not going to get published. We have seen that happen.

Because as we all know.... if Hatchette, Random House, Penguin etc etc etc decline to publish your book, there is no other solution for a midlist or small sales author. They just will not be published. Ever. It is Big 6 or nothing!!!!! (end of sarcasm).
