Wow, I can smell the Bovine Feces from here!!!!
He was clearly talking to a brain dead audience, or at least one that he had utterly no respect for.
If it costs them as much to produce an eBook as it does a dead tree book then they need to sack their IT department in it's entirety and hire some people that know what their doing.
Wise up you guys, we know you're lying through your teeth, most of us are actually smarter than you and your tales of woe are getting oh so tiring.
This goes out to all the dead tree publishers out there, especially those trying to maintain their strangle hold on authors and readers wallets by moving to overpriced DRM infected eBooks. You may as well stick to the dead tree books becasue you're wasting your time if you think people are stupid enough to continue supporting your bloated parasitic asses. DRM-free ePUBs are here and authors can self publish on their choice of sites for free, and without fear of rejection, and make more money, and not have to take your crap, so choke on an iPad and die already.
We have DRM-free ePUBs, all but a few dedicated ereaders and every computer platforms from phones to read them on, sites where authors can self publish and readers can buy their books cheap. What the hell do we need you for????
Come on everyone, the only way for us to free ourselves from these muppets and have cheap transportable eBooks is to get behind sites like
www.zuluexpress.com and the rest of us small guys and kick the big boys off the block.
