Scalzi stated in an earlier post that he gets a percentage of the
sale price. So, if the e-book is selling at a higher price, then he's going to get more money per e-book sold than he would at the lower price point. Whether people will buy the e-books at the higher price point remains to be seen, but if they want to experiment with it, why shouldn't they? They can determine if it was a good decision after looking at the profits they make after implementing the new structure.
Authors seem to be
wholly on Macmillan's side in this argument.
