The publishers are completely free to sell DRM-free ebooks directly to consumers that can be enjoyed on their Kindle or whatever. They insist on relying on greedy middlemen like Apple and are shocked when Amazon doesn't fall in line.
I have no sympathy for complaining publishers that refuse to actually circumvent these "bully" distributors.
- makomk 12y agoThey're also completely free to sell DRM-free paperbacks, and all of them do, but that's never helped them much when Amazon lists their paperbacks as "out of stock" as leverage tactics over physical book pricing because most people assume that if Amazon don't have it, it's out of print and there's no point looking elsewhere.
