P.S. Is the length of the signator list, or the number of prominent authors on it, a reason to side with Hachette? Of course not. Just as the number of prominent posters here, with contrasting opinions, is no reason to side with Amazon 
P.P.S. Googling some more, the letter mostly is the same as one from July; they just have more signators now, and plan to advertise the text:

Do those authors care about their readers who read eBooks? If Hatchette wins this battle, Hatchette is going back to agency pricing and that means higher prices. As a customer, why would I want higher prices? I don't want higher prices.
I think these authors just aren't getting what Hatchette is trying to do and if they really knew, they'd not have signed.
