Esp. the 1st quote makes it for me: paper costs returns etc. in a nutshell: ebooks = putting out mid- and backlist stuff without risking ones neck.
Nice to see it said by a professional.
The publishers always went nasty about people buying used - how else were we going to get the older pieces missing in our collections?
Esp. in the cases where they considered a new edition or reprint to be too risky for them in terms of sales. /. returns. Ebooks is THE chance there and they just close their eyes.
Kenny you are right about the karma-worthiness. I sent some already.
