First off, I thought collusion was illegal. Secondly, it seems apparent publishers don’t care about ebook sales, or hope it’s a passing fad, because they are guaranteeing that I am going to buy a used paperback. Did they learn nothing from Napster and the music industry?
Digital books have one two advantages over physical ones, I can fit a lot of them on one device and carry them all with me and I can buy them without having to get up. But all that convience just isn’t worth more than the cost of a paperback.
Sorry authors, I bet I would have enjoyed your writing.
