Yeah, poor devil Basilio Ramos. He didn’t have an easy last couple of days. Hell on earth.
I should have put my books on Kindle years ago. I was missing a lot of synergistic effects. Many more readers is better short and long term for sales. A lower price point for purchase leads to more initial sales. It took me until 2011-12 to figure this out. Even the 35K free D/Ls I totally do not see as missed sales, but rather many more new readers. It helps that I have a “back list” of titles. This would not work so well for a first-time author.

I’m a big Amazon fan too.....they give great service and sell EVERYTHING.
I know, they really do. I’m all the time buying used books on Amazon Marketplace. The books are sitting in little mom and pop indy bookstores all over the USA. Amazon links buyer to seller with just a few clicks, UPS/FedEx drops it off.
For example, Jobs considered the New York Times to be one of the finest newspapers in America and he wanted to save its journalism for future generations...One of my personal projects this year, I’ve decided, is to try to help—whether they want it or not—the Times,’ he told me in early 2010. ‘I think it’s important to the country for them to figure it out.’”
This article has let out enough of the truth about Jobs. It is liberalism. It is not unusual for a techtard to be socially and political inept. He had cancer and rather than letting cancer docs try to save his life he went with “alternative medicine.” After he made that deadly decision, he said in an interview, he regreted it.
You are correct.
I’ve bought very few books from Amazon because they’re priced at nearly the same point as the physical book. For that, I get only a digital copy that I cannot give away to a friend or a library.
I’ve bought twenty or so $.99, $3.99, etc. books from their daily specials because they make more sense and hit me at a price point I don’t really have to think about.
