Scale. You won't be able to offer an alternative to the kindle without a huge budget; and without an alternative to the kindle all kindle users will keep either buying from amazon, or downloading books on the web. In either case you're not solving the authors problem, so they still have to deal with amazon.
- icebraining 12y agoYes, they'll download books from the web, from the publisher's site. I don't see the problem.
- Anderkent 12y agoI meant pirate. Why would you bother going online to buy a book if you can do it with one click on amazon, and have it on your device straight away? I mean, sure, if that's an author you already know and there's no other way to get the book, you might do it. But die-hard fans are always going to buy the books anyway, that's not what publishers and authors compete for. Reaching the audience that has not read previous books is the main purpose.
