Maggie -- problem is for some, ebooks were an alternative to being unable to buy books as you would like to, because of the higher costs lately. My example of the almost double cost in Canada for example.
I know I simply can't do it.
It's ok to say we'll go the library, or find freebies.
But that doesn't make it fair or tasteful does it?
We are talking about people who would want to "buy" a book (e or p).
In that context, do you really think it is fair for a small group of publishers to get together and suddenly strong arm the business/marketplace into, in some case, nearly doubling the price of an ebook?
Put it in this context, as a writer, where do you think that extra bunch of dollars per book is going? I can tell you it's not the at best 10% royalties writer (what's that 20-50 cents more for the writer and $2-5 for the publisher who has put out near nothing?)
I like rleguillow's thoughts on this.
