Good things never last but in this case it is the sudden end that is unexpected. What I expected was a steady stream of small changes (higher prices, maybe DRM) not a literal overnight switch. They did stay at $6 per book for a long time, though...
As is, a 3 month window is a reasonable compromise that stays within the spirit of the original webscription concept.
And its hard to argue when they are raising their ebook royalties along with the prices. Even if total sales do go down the authors should be seeing a boost in income and since we're not talking King or Roberts, that is a good thing.
Times change...
