I've been saying for years that readers want inexpensive ebooks.

I priced my books at what I would want to spend on an electronic book.

The terrible thing about the Internet and Amazon is that they take the magic and happy chaos out of book shopping. The Internet might give you what you want, but it won't give you what you need.

One thing I often talk about in my business is that an eBook is not like a print book: it's very, very different. It's organic. It's changing.

Higher ebook prices don't benefit me, booksellers or readers, and that means something is really wrong.

I use Amazon for books. I use Amazon for loads of other things. I regard Amazon as a source, as I think a lot of other people do.

I sell a lot of ebooks from my website and encourage authors to set up their own stores.

Amazon is such a big player in publishing, but a lot of authors feel this connection to their publishing house and their editors who helped them get their books out there, so their loyalties tend to go that way.

I'm floating between multiple media. I really wish you could buy the hardcover book and it would come with the digital download and audible version. I spend stupid amounts of money because I'm usually buying my books in at least two formats.

It's easier to release an ebook than a print book.
