I had trouble getting through that article. I agree with their overall point: What happened with Black Witch and now American Heart is scandalous.

But then the article was so invested with their political ideology that it skewed their conclusions making me distrust everything he had to say. Saying that indie e-book sales are on the rise because people are tired of the BPH's "relentless attempts to propagandize their politics to readers instead of releasing the best products" seems to either be a willfully ignorant view or an outright lie.

The author has a good point buried in there. It's a shame he couldn't deliver it in a more honest fashion.

Edit: The author contributes to the "Hugo Award-nominated Castalia House blog" That explains the prettying-up of the Puppy fiasco.
