Macmillan publishes a work of fiction
Overdrive: posting facts and figures. MacMillan: claiming that they have some, but not sharing them, and misrepresenting the ones they do. |
You’ll pardon me if I don’t trust Overdrive implicitly as they’ve got a vested interest in libraries continuing to get ebooks.
It’s also always concerning when companies complain about the lack of transparency from another company but hide behind averages without giving all the figures that go into those averages.
Overdrive also makes a rather big leap with the conclusion that Macmillan not going into detail implies the test was unremarkable. Macmillan knew they’d get blowback for this move it doesn’t follow that they’d do it for no reason.
