Rhadin, you are missing the point. It wasn't meant what percentage the Hachette authors get per book , but how many of those signatures are from Hachette authors. Oh wait, let me guess, Hachette already told every author that they are going to get a cut per ebook sale since the shareholders come first.
It is a bunch of baloney too that ebooks have to subsidize the risks of pbooks. The 60% can change real quick if the publishers weren't so stuck up living in the past. The reason for not advocating ebooks is their fear of competition. If they convince people to switch to ebooks then they run the risk of becoming useless. And if they actually and truely are so wonderful, they would remain usefull and wonderful even with a split of 85% ebook to 15% pbook?
But wait, I don't count. I am a member of MobileRead, and not representative. Guess what, you are a member here, does that mean ...
