so what is the role of publishers and marketers and whole dinosaur industry that should die already.
i've had a proposal. From a $100 physical book, an author makes say 5%. That is all their work as the original work and remuneration they get so if we move to digital, how about the author double or triple that to say $15. add another $5 for delivery and the same book now costs me $20 and the author gets "more" money, something they actually want and what i want, to consume the content created and support the author and be easy on the wallet.
this would probably kill the paper book model overnight but i really don't have concerns about the poor publishers and printers who would go out of job
