I do begrudge them that business model. That model has done a very good job of squeezing many mid-list authors (that I would like to read more of) entirely out of writing. Some of those authors are back again after the big publisher business model has been broken a little bit. The illegal collusion to raise prices tends not to engender any sympathy either.
