Authors wonder why Amazon is villified for bad things they *might* do to authors in the future while the BPHs get a pass on the things they have been doing to authors for decades.

Most of the grousing about authors' earnings concerns the base rates imposed upon them1 by commercial publishers. The authors gripe about "25% of net" for e-books, and rightly so. They gripe a little less loudly about 8%/12.5%/15% on hardcover trade fiction as a base royalty rate. They gripe loudly about advances, if seldom with numeric disclosures attached.2 What they neglect, however, is the high-discount clause: In almost all commercial publishing contracts, the author's per-copy compensation is cut in half for copies sold at a high discount (but not "remaindered", for which the author receives nothing).
