- jobu 11y agoDigging even further, that authorsearnings.com article links to a WSJ article titled "E-Book Sales Fall After New Amazon Contracts" - https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=E-Book+Sales+Fall+After+New+Amazon+Contracts https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=E-Book+Sales+Fall... (google link to get past the stupid WSJ signup page) The contract negotiations with Amazon were supposedly about price control for publishers, but combined with the way they're spinning new E-Book numbers it appears that they actually want E-Books to fail.
