You know, what are we talking about? Are we talking about the fact that many books aren't available at our favorite bookstores? I blame the publishers for simultaneously attempting to strong arm all the bookstores on short notice and the bookstores for playing chicken with the *******.
If we are talking about the poor kindle users who now have to pay $14.95 for an book that sells for $19.95 at every bookstore but Amazon's House Of Loss Leaders, then I blame Amazon for selling eBooks for less than they are worth. Yes I said worth, flame me if you disagree. I still think 80% of the value of a book is in the words to my eyeballs. The other 20% is it's value as a projectile weapon, where eBooks, admittedly fall short.
If we are talking about publishers trying to make more money and raise prices everywhere so apple doesn't get under cut, I blame Steve I said I hate DRM but implement it in every aspect of my business Jobs.
Sigh. In two weeks I better be able to buy books for less than two weeks ago, or I will be buying less books. I'll still buy from my favorite authors, heck, I offered Jim Butcher $49.99 for a copy of his new book (which I doubt would happen, but a signed eBook would be worth $49.99, wouldn't it???).
Ok. I'm ranting. Sorry. Ignore my post(s).
