The Fallacy of Some Book Publishing Experts

It’s important that writers and authors understand that all indications are that Amazon has a long term plan with regard to the printing company–BookSurge and it is not in the best interest of the Independent publishing community. There are “so-called” publishing experts who have written that it’s okay for Amazon to force all self-published, and print-on-demand authors to print with their own company if they want to sell books on their site. I’m sorry but this illustrates the problem with these “experts,” they misinterpret the facts and lack an understanding of the market.

Forcing anyone, let alone authors to succumb to the wishes of a big corporation is not only wrong, it should be a violation of anti-trust law. How anyone especially those who are supposedly an expert in book publishing can write that this is okay clearly explains those “experts” are completely out of touch with the reality of the marketplace and have no idea how the industry operates. This move signals that the Independent publishing community is not welcome at the largest online bookseller in the world.
