Very good article, and mentions many of the points people here have also been making about the wrongheaded shortsightedness of so many publishing houses regarding the money they could be making from ebooks, if they just stepped back and realized that their customer base is the
reading public - not distributors or bookstores. Much as I love bookstores. There seems to be an arrogance and dismissiveness from the publishers about the real customers who actually BUY THE BOOKS.
The book times they are a changin', and those who will not change will, in the inexorable way of things, eventually be winnowed out.
