Do I hate this stupid Agency Model crap. Hell, yes! Do I see it as bad for the eBook and eBook Reader business... damned straight. Would I like to grab one of the Big 6 and cram a hardcover up their backside... sure. BUT... what the hell good is it going to not wait and see how this works out.
I think the Agency Model is going to end up being ruled illegal anyway, class action suits are underway, and many authors are threatening to PULL their works from the Big 6 over this. We all hate it.
BUT... most of my prices on www.MyEZread.com remain fabulous, we are going after independent authors and publishers, and we have voiced our displeasure with the publishers over what is going on.
So, now you all want to desert Astak and go to Baen (whatever they are). Give it a chance to see where Astak can take this. Your buying of eBooks from the MyEZread site saves you money and makes it far more likely we can bring in the independent authors and publishers that you will love. You already know where Astak stands. We hate this crap. But this type of leaving talk really hurts. |
Hi Robert,
I just did a quick scan of the bookstore again, and many that I looked for I wasn't able to find. I'm guessing they are published by those particular publishers, and just aren't available right now. However, some books that I was able to find, I was pleasantly surprised to see how low the prices were! Even though I won't buy often, the Astak bookstore will definitely be my first stop in my ebook hunt!
