I think my point still more or less stands as-is though. The BWM publishers don't like dealing with people who like reading books, possibly because they aren't much good at connecting with readers.
Few wholesalers are set up to deal directly with the end customer. Ever try to buy a chocolate bar directly from Hersey? You technically can, just like you can technically buy directly from many of the big publishers, but it's not how they make most of their money. The major publishers deal with people who like reading books all the time. Most people who go into the business love to read, that's how they got involved in the business in the first place.
