IN the end, its a corporate battlefield out there. You win or you die.
If the publishers think that they have to move to direct marketing and sales to customers in order to survive, then they'll do so,and if it inconveniences Kindle owners , then so be it.
It's possible that in 15 years time, we'll be buying books the way we buy airline tickets-through a Kayak stylesearch/recommendation engine that links us directly to publisher sites and which handles the sales transactions in return for a fee from the publishers
.Its possible that in 15 years there will be no BPHs-only Amazon Publishing.
Its possible that the way by then the way we buy and consume ebooks may be to put on our Google Glasses and adjust the setting to READ.
About all we do know is that change is inevitable and that corporations will act in their business self-interest
