Most authors are quite happy with fans who buy their books period - Hardback, paperback, audiobook or ebook, it's all good and they get their money.

...and so the goalposts have been moved. This was originally about lowering prices on ebooks across the board, and then some posters started talking about how they just waited for books to go on sale, then others started implying that if people didn't pay full price for books, they were free-loaders and were contributing to the upcoming apocalypse of the publishing industry and taking food out of the mouths of authors. There was even a statement made comparing people who don't pay full price for books to people who don't put enough (or any) money into the collection plate at church (????)
Now, it's all being pushed back. Apparently the problem isn't people who wait for sales, or those who buy low priced new books/ebooks, it's the people who buy *used* books.
...and the beat goes on...
