No, that's a complete and utter strawman. What I said is that some people do buy "generic books", but most follow specific authors. All are consumers. Some people who only download free books are not consumers of the publisher's books. If you have never bought a book from a publisher and don't ever plan to, then you are not a consumer of books published by main stream publishers. The words and concepts really aren't that difficult.
