There are so many people trying to write and market e-books that it's very hard to attract new readers, so one uses all the income sources available.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-66335706900260861142020-12-25T09:15:35.221-06:002020-12-25T09:15:35.221-06:00Hate to dredge up a long ago post, but how is kind...Hate to dredge up a long ago post, but how is kindle unlimited treating you monetarily now?kirksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992002235773669020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-51420991871210176782014-07-24T10:46:27.930-05:002014-07-24T10:46:27.930-05:00The thing is, Amazon is pretty much a monopsony at...The thing is, Amazon is pretty much a monopsony at this point. What's their market share ? 70-80%? <br /><br />It's hardly ever a good situation, to have only one real choice of publisher. <br /><br />What would people do if Amazon managed to gain even larger market share and then started to offer less-favorable terms? <br /><br />As of now, you can read non-Amazon ebooks on kindle devices, but that could change any time. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-18967635868483617542014-07-23T13:50:02.220-05:002014-07-23T13:50:02.220-05:00I think Dirk is right....

I have never thrown a book away, whether dead-tree or e-book. But, I read a lot of stuff that I go back and re-read years later. I wouldn't want to have to pay again to re-read, say, Weber's Honor Harrington series, or McCaffrey's Pern series, just to name two that I've re-read at least twice. <br /><br />My wife, on the other hand, wouldn't care whether she could keep a book or not. She frequently downloads ebooks from the library, and never looks back. Then again, I don't think what she reads has much re-reading value, as her tastes are somewhat...simpler.
