@pwalker8. Unfortunately you are correct about the tribal aspect. I myself freely admit my leanings on these issues. Whilst I recognise my bias and mostly try to be reasonable I'm aware that I don't always succeed. As previously indicated I do think that there will always be a place for publishers, though the old model is all but dead, and those who prosper will be those who adapt and innovate. But of course in a very competitive environment there is little room for quasi-philanthropy of the type you argue occurred frequently under the old model. I like Amazon, but I would still like to see significant competition in the ebook market. However, at the moment I simply see no sign of it happening.
