Yes there are a lot of people who get paid to put together, promote, and distribute a paper book.
How many of those are getting paid for Ebooks? Few if any that I can see.
In my opinion, for Ebooks it comes down to publishers, distributors/resellers, and authors.
And the fact is Publishers seem to be realizing that there is money to be made there. And they are taking steps to get a bigger piece of the pie. Isn't that what all the hoopla with MacMillian and Amazon boils down to? Greed, and the realization that the money is there for the taking!
Greed, pure and simple.
I for one would have no problem sending a donation directly to the Author and cutting out the publisher.
MR Modesitt, checks in the mail.
