This scenario reminds me of the experiences I had contacting small publishers about their plans for ebooks (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...e+Morgue+Press ) - esp. the responses from Crippen & Landrau and Rue Morgue Press - the deification of printed books (the smell, typography, etc.) and the opinion that ebooks were "nonexistant" books.
And most tellingly - their apparent ignorance/indifference to the availability of digital copies on the darknet. The ability (or willingness) of authors and publishers - in these supposedly cash-strapped times when profits are plummeting into the toilet - to ignore the readers with cash in hand who actually WANT to buy a legal digital copy and to support authors and publishers legally - is truly mind-numbing!
What a maroon! (to quote my favorite rabbit - or was it the duck?)
