In my country is exactly what they think.

Interesting enough, in a country where more than half of the published books do not go for more than 500 books per edition (and 90% of them do not go above the 1th edition), with almost 300 public libraries, publishers forget to acknowledge that public libraries can represent easily more than 50% of their sales!!!

But for people who see eBooks in this manner: “if I can sell for 20 why should I try to sell the same for 10?”
What would one expect.
