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

Higher ebook prices only benefit one group: publishers.

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.

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

Remember that just because major publishing is having trouble, that doesn't mean people have stopped reading books. Printed books won't go away, but ebooks won't go away, either.

I've never read an ebook. Print every time.

Authors will make far more on those ebooks through direct sales than publishers are offering. There is no incentive for authors to sell those rights to traditional publishers which means, in the fairly short term, publishers run out of material to sell.

Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and one we should fight for.

I think if a book has the power to move a reader, it also has the power to offend a reader. And you want your books to have power, so you just have to take what comes with that.
