#publising — Public Fediverse posts

This is f()&^(& ridiculous....

Just went to look up a new book, based on a recommendation from an author whose opinion I find to be pretty good.

But when I went and looked up this book, I found the following prices:

Amazon: $9.40
B&N: $28.49
eBooks.com: $28.49

Freaking insanity. In what world is an eBook price the same as a hardcover edition of the book? How in the hell is Amazon still getting away with this kind of market manipulation bullshittery.

'There is something that we, the book industry, can do… And that’s to stop linking to your book on Amazon.'

Drew Broussard lays it on the line:
