Dingo's kidneys. "Greed" for writers to want to be paid royalties for their work? I happen to think it's a misdirected strategy, but calling it greed is just fanning the flames on the other end, and nonsense besides.

Right now there are four different profitable versions of books: Hardback, Paperback, Audio Book and E-Book. If the Kindle 2's technology combines Audio Books and E-Books then that will reduce the revenue stream.

Of course the impact is negligible now, but the Guild is looking down the road a bit when E-books become a major segment of the market.
This part I agree with.
