In some ways, I'm really surprised that these guys were so gung-ho in defending MacMillan. MacMaillan has never released ebook editions of Charlie Stross' series, and has been pricing their ebooks well above mass market paperback prices, so MacMillan's been sabotoging these authors with the millions of people who have ebook readers. |
I was a little surprised at their enthusiasm for defending macmillan as well. But given that Macmillan represents their livelihood and support...I guess that was probably the only way they felt they COULD go.
