And don't get me wrong--I feel for the authors because they are caught in the middle with no way to really change any of it. But writing articles about it complaining about Amazon probably isn't the best strategy. Do a giveaway gift cert to B&N or Kobo or just give away books from your blog? Maybe giving away books or such won't either, but it seems like it might be slightly more positive. If you're mad that Amazon is the main retailer where people buy your books complaining isn't likely to change it. Getting other retailers to somehow capitalize on the issue...maybe it wouldn't work. I dunno. I'm Miss Ideas over here, but Ideas are like dust bunnies. Got lots of'm.
