Come on good people!!!! I have seen enough posts on MR to know that you're a pretty intellignet bunch of people. So for the love of god, good books and dark chocloate.... why the hell are you perpetuating the myth that it's in any way, shape or form fortuitous to the the consumer that Crapple MIGHT deem it acceptable to sell someone elses goddamn work for $9.99 and keep most of the money for themsleves. Don't you see that you are begging the corporate giants of the world to keep raping you and our beloved authors over and over ad infinitum.
Get real and tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine! I'm sorry but I've had enough and I'm not gonna take it any more.
THIS IS THE FUTURE OF EBOOKS. All authors are indies and sell their eBooks on their own sites or sites like smashwords or zuluexpress that only take a few penies per copy rather than only leaving but a few pennies for the author. If you don't believe me, ask an author!!!! They've been getting raped forever and it's time for us all to put an end to it.
If you don't pull your fingers out, stand up for your rights and bloody well do something constructive about it like publicly bagging the crap out of their ludicrous proposals then you probably deserve the righteous shagging that the encumbent publishing powers that be have in store for you.
Pleeeease don't don't take any offence (unless you're an apple or amazon exec lol), and if you'd rather help buy Steve Jobs a new Ferrari than enjoy cheap eBooks where the author makes more money than the publisher then please disregard this heartfelt plea for you all to help make your own lot in life better. It really is within your grasp.
