and there's a ton of wonderful classics and public domain books that could keep anyone reading for a lifetime.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll work on that "problem" next.

(Note what they said about the Google Books Settlement, and on what grounds. I agree it's wrong, but not at all with their grounds)

They should also add:

"... and soon on darknet, for FREE!"

Because, really, "It's The Price, Stupid!"

$5 per ebook makes many make spontaneous purchases.

$15 per ebook will make many go scouring darknet.

It's a fact of life, which most publishers don't seem to get.

Here's a great comment from a _Macmillan author_:
Quote:
About that “we,” Mr. Sargent…. Exactly who are the “we” who’ve been deeply concerned, who’ve moved from a standing start to a new business model in just three weeks!? I assumed, through the first four sentences, that “we” was “you”—corporate Macmillan—rather than “us”—because why else would you be sending me a letter.

Then I hit the fifth sentence: …”our intellectual property”…

I checked, just to make certain, but there it is on the title page verso – copyright 2006 / Lynn Abbey. Rifkind’s Challenge is MY intellectual property. It is licensed to Macmillan/TOR under a contract that sometimes feels like indentured servitude (or maybe like the old Hollywood studio/contract system). License is not quite the same as ownership.

But, by golly, they’re going to be fair to “those who create.”

These are the good guys?
