    As Amazon does everything possible to compete with brick and mortar stores, and drive small book sellers out of business, how much control will they have over the industry? One of the upsides of electronic publishing is that information will not be controlled by corporate America in electronic form.

  • William Bell on 25 Jun 12
     
    Greed, greed, greed to supersede the voice of the public. There has to be and needs to be and open eformat. Collusion of any kind by any companies to monopolize is wrong. Why be mad at the government actually doing its job by trying to stamp unfairness. Is this not the land of the free and home of the brave where we are afforded the right to compete on fair terms, or are we just capitalist to the harshest degree, with no wiggle room? Uncle Sam will always be the ref in these battles of monopoly. Does Amazon, Apple, and Goggle with there wholesale pillaging scan scam holding the lions share of the ePub tech and licenses make it a safe place for upstart like I would like to have in the future? I say "NO"!!! Change the game Uncle Sam for the consumer, loyalist, and publisher in this ePub wild west.

    Another factor in the pricing of ebooks--Amazon's ranking algorithms, which may result in price increases to indie books so that they will be noticed. Indie author Edward W. Robertson is a stats junkie who's been studying the e-seller's algorithms for a while.

    "But if Amazon tries to enforce its demands by removing "buy" buttons from some pages again, some believe it could harm its reputation in the eyes of customers and the publishing industry." You THINK???? Unfortunately, as long as they keep free shipping, most people probably won't care. I see this as a really serious industry issue.
