That would do it.
But that's isn't on their radar at all.

What they obsess about is things like preserving the "perceived value" of hardcovers, about squeezing author royalties and locking up ebook rights from pre-ebook contracts, about Amazon's 50-book publishing catalog, and pretty much everything *except* delivering a good product at an acceptable price.

Very different world views, very different priorities.
