You know how human nature is. "Oh, $20 for a book is too much. Give me an eBook. Oh, $9.99 for JUST an eBook is too much. Why don't you make it $1 or $2? Give the author a dollar of it, book company takes a dollar, bookstores go out of business, and I'm happy! Oh wait, the download company should get money. OK, author gets 50 cents, book company gets 50 cents, and Amazon gets a dollar. OK?"
Meanwhile on EBAY...
Sellers figure they are entitled to re-sell eBooks. Ones they didn't even buy but got off Kickass or Demonoid. Ha ha!
EBAY says, "Just say in your ad you're the copyright owner. Ha ha. Or the authorized re-seller. Ho ho." Then it's up to Andy Weir and the other authors to take the time to check EBAY and send in a complaint. Hee hee.
Of course you are. You don't show any legal papers in your ad, BUT WE WILL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.
STEP RIGHT UP AND FUCK THE AUTHOR, FOLKS!
FUCK THE AUTHOR! WE DON'T LET ASSHOLES SELL MP3 FILES BUT "PDF MOBI KINDLE EPUB" YOU BET!
FUCK THE AUTHOR WITH A BUY IT NOW!
FUCK THE AUTHOR AND SCAB EACH OTHER AS YOU LOWER YOUR PRICES TO LOW-BALL EACH OTHER!
WHAT DO YOU CARE. EVERY SALE YOU MAKE IS LIKE HAVING A FREE BEER!
What the fuck. Authors should give away their books and sell t-shirts!
