What jumps out to me is Howey's point about serving his readers: he has his mythical "1000 true fans" and he wants to keep them. So his point about customer service, rarely mentioned by authors, is worth considering. All outlets aren't created equal; some *are* more effective at moving product and providing a better experience for buyers *and* authors.

If a reader can't find a book even when they know it's listed, why list it there at all?

And that is a dangerous question for authors to be asking retailers. Dangerous for the retailer.
