This is on the money. People are not only waiting them out, they are actually turning to self published authors. The list of known authors is growing in the self published category making it even easier for fans to find something to read at a reasonable price.
So they can spin it any way they want to, but they are only shooting themselves in the foot trying so desperately to hold on to their overpriced ebooks & paper books.
