From the Times article --

Quote:
Peter Meyers, author of “Breaking the Page,” a new book about the shift from print to screen, disagreed, saying “Amazon’s success has quashed competition” in e-books.

“Sure, there are the subscription services Oyster and Scribd, but those businesses aren’t really robust yet,” said Mr. Meyers.
If authors and legacy publishers want Oyster and Scribd to be more robust, why do they withhold most of their newest books?
