I also remember Patterson doing a stunt for them where he hand delivered a copy of his latest book to an Amazon customer who had pre-ordered. |
I'm sure that hate is more of an overstatement.
Rowling is an interesting case. She has long been well known for having one of the best web sites with regards to interaction with her readers and selling product. She was really quite brilliant in using the web to market the Harry Potter series. She also is well known for being reluctant to release the Harry Potter books as ebooks, but once she did, she had a very good store, plus she released the extended version on the iTunes store.
