And yet, the US government decided that it was not Amazon but Apple, with an immaterial market share in the eBooks market, that deserved a $400M fine for price-fixing anti-trust violations.
- manojlds 7y agoThe argument here is Amazon being bad for authors and the above with Apple was about consumers.
- bjelkeman-again 7y agoBut in the long run, isn’t being bad for authors going to be bad for consumers?
- manojlds 7y agoCan't say that for sure. I am myself a published author with a traditional publisher and I didn't make anything beyond the advance aand the revenue share was only 10% for me. If $9.99 makes more people buy it and the share is better, I am all up for it.
