I'm not sure there's ever been a price increase like this Amazon thing. Costs go down and prices go up? From $9.99 to up to $15? Ow. $10 made some sense because printing a book and shipping it is not cheap. And the artist gets a buck or three and the publisher gets the rest?
Anyone that's made it should probably just go straight to Amazon. Why should Stephen King pay a publisher. He should get $7 and Amazon $3 maybe? Or Sue Grafton or any other former bestseller. They lose the talented editing and publish some crap maybe but you'd think it would have to go this way. If tablets become common then publishers should shrink and fade just like record companies and tv networks do as content creators go directly to customers through the internet.
