A deal is a deal, no doubt. But a single seller of ebooks isn’t healthy. We should want those little boutique websites AND Amazon deal watching sites. I guess I’m trying to point out that Apple and the Big 5 lost....but WE didn’t win.
Amazon won. Amazon was already winning which is why the Big 5 teamed up with Apple in the first place. Collusion is bad...and I’m not in favor of price fixing, I’m just pointing out that things didn’t go back to the way they were before. Little guys were wiped out...Amazon no longer sells the NYT best sellers for $9.99
Apple never even mentions books anymore unless it’s for education.
Today's ebook buying landscape is worse than it was 10 years ago and there is zero movement that I can see to change this
