It will be this way until some upstart disrupts the industry taking a smaller cut for routing authors directly to customers side stepping the old publishing houses.
- tptacek 16y agoI'll be happy to hear that authors are getting (say) 80% of the $15 that books end up costing, but that doesn't change the fact that book pricing has nothing whatsoever to do with materials and binding and whatnot.
- Supermighty 16y agoI would love to hear that too. The sad fact is that author's are getting even less for ebooks while the publisher is getting more. http://www.daemonsbooks.com/2010/08/09/ebook-vs-regular-book-pricing/ http://www.daemonsbooks.com/2010/08/09/ebook-vs-regular-book...
- tptacek 16y agoI'm on board with this, but that doesn't change anything about book pricing; this is an orthogonal concern.
