I agree, authors are deserve more, and I agree, many people undervalue books. But value and price are two different things, and an increase in the price I pay for a book doesn't necessarily mean an increase in the amount of money the author receives - sometimes it means the author makes less money.

Don't kid yourself - Macmillan was fighting to protect the economic interests of authors about as much as Amazon was fighting to protect the economic interests of consumers.
