What thinkst thou, Karen, Chadwick, Mike, Chris, Marie, Eileen and Billie? If I can sell 10,000 books at $3.99 a download, which I’ve been consistently able to do through Amazon, that strikes me as a better deal than being able to sell 3,000 books at $12 a paperback, particularly because my royalty rates are way higher on downloads and I can jam out two or more of those downloadable books a year. It’s not a strategy that will work for every author...[b]ut for a proud Grub Streeter like me with only marginal pretenses toward literary finery, the Amazon system is a dream. slate/articles/business/moneybox/2014/09/in_defense_of_amazon_an_author_s_dissent.html
