I like the stance that many Hachette and Little, Brown authors are taking on social media. Some are, of course, raging and flinging invective everywhere, while a surprising number are taking the more pragmatic approach of simply reminding readers about the many other places their books are available for preorder and purchase.
I admit I'm a bit baffled, though, why many outraged authors are recommending B&N. Why do so many feel justified in putting their allegiance behind a corporation whose only real "virtue" was in failing to become the biggest bully on the block (though not through lack of trying)?
Is it a "what have you NOT done to me lately" mentality, perhaps?
