Most critical:




Note this is the Overdrive CEO. He has real world numbers. Plus, it's his business under attack.

Much more at the source.

(Don't skip the comments.)

Let's just say that it's his ox whose getting gored and his business model that is being threatened. He may have real world numbers on the number of books that are lent through Overdrive, but he certainly doesn't have the real world numbers of how many ebooks are being sold, nor does he have any real world numbers on the changes in ebooks sales in a comparison basis.

My question is if his business model threatens the livelihood of the authors, why is that fine, but it's not fine for the authors the window books in an effort to boost sales? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm suppose to say those evil publishers and not mention the authors, most of whom are barely making a living.
