I'm French, and at first I thought that this was not good, agreement between publishers and everything can go as a derivative.
But in the end I am well content, finished the large surface that sell that great books public price, for this there are periods of promotion, and then it allows you to keep a part of small booksellers who them more diversity and also more rare editions books.
It is a compromise between any not expensive and in the end once crushed small large date back their price, and diversity in the choice.
In this decision there's very good, but was also made very bad choices elsewhere for the book industry.It was a law to curb the wholesale without thinking that it penalizes small publishers flick that was also this free service.
Saving a chick but one breaks eggs.
It must be a happy medium.
