They would be doing a lot better with Amazon's help if they hadn't decided to try to retain sole control of their contribution to the ebook world. *sigh*
Authors deserve payment for their work, and I would gladly pay them a modest sum directly into their hands or bank account for an electronic copy of their work, in preference to a printed copy.
This cuts out the publishers completely, since in the ebook market, publishers are completely superfluous. The problem is they're still around and have the money to purchase laws to enforce their business model.
