the second i read this thread title, my first thought was "their own idiocy". i see i am not alone in this opinion.
seems like large industries don't want to be flexible. they to keep doing the same old thing, and refuse to see that readers these days want choices and interaction. we want competitive prices - reasonable ones - and we want selection. we don't want a bunch of "marketing speak" - we want sites, publisher blogs and reps who talk to us just like we were all people.
the publishing companies want to keep doing what they've been doing, and they want to spend time telling us WHY they have to do that. the truth is that they don't have to keep doing the same old thing, and telling us they do isn't likely to convince anyone. it IS likely to make us think less of a lot of bigger publishers.
