You could always buy a computer without a Microsoft license. What you could not buy was a computer minus the price of that license (small independent shops excluded).
You can sell your books through Amazon. But you can't sell your books anywhere else cheaper than Amazon.
- WalterBright 12y agoYou can sell your books through your own web site and set your own prices. The internet is the great democratizer of commerce.
- moomin 12y agoI think you misunderstand what's involved in selling a book. A website that takes orders isn't enough, you've got to actually stock and deliver them. This is what Amazon is developing a stranglehold on.
- WalterBright 12y agoI've published and sold books in the past. I know what is involved in it. It is not that hard, nor is it that expensive. Most print shops will do the printing & binding for you, you can get mailers from Uline, and mail with the USPS. It's hard to see how Amazon could stop or even inhibit any of that.
