I'm not holding my breath either, just wondering out loud. Sometimes it's useful to rather than simply assume malice, to try to consider where the other side is coming from.

Thank you for posting this. Interesting to see some numbers of booksales - maybe not typical, but not at the top or bottom. Non comment of Hachette authors is weird too - seeing the one that did was clearly not pro-Amazon.

They weren't trying to lower the price that Amazon pays to the publisher, only the price that they turn around and resell it for. The publisher got the same amount/book and sold more books in that model. And the customers could buy more books for the same amount of money. Everybody wins.
