I understand, sure. Webscriptions is only a decade old, after all (sarcasm? ME?)

But the public, the unwashed masses of purchasers? No, no, they don't "understand" anything. They see high prices, they see restrictions. They turn to the darknet.

You're going to lose them unless you get your ass into gear.


AnemicOak - The only difference is that Baen had one man who could say "do it", and it was done. Its not coincidence that it's small publishers joining Baen on Webscriptions now either, is it? Traditional book publishers are slowly-reacting monoliths. And honestly, I'm very tempted to say "let them burn themselves".
