The word 'scam' might be inflammatory, but I understand what he means. Seeing very short novels/novellas being sold for prices that are above the going rate for longer, popular Big 5 published novels is infuriating/confusing. I'd started a thread on here once about a similar subject.
Of *course* the publisher can charge what they see fit. But if internet boards aren't an outlet for fans to bitch and moan about the vagaries of life, what are they for?
