Not at all. It amounts to whining because he couldn't get a decent ebooks contract. "But"... no, if the model is broken, then it needs to change. One of the reasons I support Baen is they take non-exclusive online publishing rights...

The ebook can sell, and keep selling for the entire copyright-lifespan of the book and beyond, for minimal marginal costs. Less money in the short term does not mean less money in the longer term.
