I support indie books and am glad that the e-book market has made it viable to bring these niche titles back into print. But I can't kid myself that, on the whole, the indies do a better job than the big guys. That is just demonstrably wrong.

I'm sad to hear this, because I've had overwhelmingly better luck with indies versus of the top five's ebooks, to the degree that I avoid buying the latter.

I hope my luck continues to be excellent, then.

Not as much fun but a fair amount of deserved scorn.

I find Konrath was in better form here than versus the Author's United, where he might have went a little too heavy with the insults. I know it makes for a more entertaining read, but I'd rather true discussion take place than amusing but useless inflammatory takedowns.
