You astound me. You clearly have little understanding of the book business, at least from the author-publisher side.

Actually, I haven't claimed a side at all, other than to say that this dispute is trampling all of the authors published by Macmillan (which includes Tor), whether they have ebook editions or not.

Of course you have the right not to buy my books. But whether you say that because you think I've somehow sided with Macmillan (I haven't) or for some other reason remains unclear.
