That sounds potentially bad for consumers.
The various articles I read on financial sites (yahoo and the like) are guessing it will mean higher prices for consumers. That's my take as well. But I've already been pushed back into buying used books from the large publishers. I think the last book I bought new was Benedict Jacka's latest and it was discounted by about a dollar so I grabbed the pre-order for Kindle. I read a lot of indie books too so that keeps my cost down. This news just means that many of the trad books are still out of my reach when they first come out. I've waited before. I'm patient.
