I think authors need to step out of the author forums and talk to readers. (I'm not including you in that statement--you obviously are the exception) I used to read author forums regularly, and I stopped because too many authors were acting (IMHO) like spoiled children, and it was making me not want to read any of them. They crawl inside their own heads and bounce off of each other, and when an actual *reader* gives feedback, it's ignored.
Sorry for the rant...that just pushed one of my buttons.

Not arguing--except that it used to be exclusively indies--like a lot of sites, they got their start with indies so 50 percent to authors in can be perceived as "crowding out." MANY bargain sites utilized this method (all three others that no longer take indies also did this--they built their audience with easy-to-find indie books and gradually moved over. Some no longer take indies at all).
