Some publishers really need to have a hard look at themselves. Like many politicians, they seem to take trust, respect and liking for granted, when they really aren't earning it.
Take for instance that hugely over-priced ebook of Terry Brooks, that I mentioned earlier.
Most of the customers buying that book, would be long term fans, because it belongs to a series within a long ongoing series, and quite a way in.
Those fans, have been supporting Terry Brooks in a big way, many like myself for decades, so what a disgusting way for the publisher to treat us.
As they say, what comes around goes around.
If you don't have transparency, if you do stuff that erodes trust, then you can expect topics like this one of mine, at the very least.
