All right, Kelly. No Mr. Hines complains of a breakdown, he complains about Amazon`s rules that allow them to change the price of a book at random without notifying the author, and at any whim they deem important, which means that they can harm the basis of the existence of the authors they themselves have published. Mr. Hines himself admits that he has hardly been affected by this problem, but there are other authors who are not published by major publishers who can write good stories and be hurt by Amazon`s POLITICS. Now I know that, from the author`s point of view, it is not a fair analogy… because the authors still receive royalties paid on the price of coverage. But it makes you think that all these definitions are bypassed! Many authors have strict rules in their employment contracts regarding their works. The transfer of copyright to the establishment or company and the booking of certain user rights are typical. Please note that in the case of open access publications, combined with a Creative Commons license, it is possible to transfer copyright to the institution, since it belongs to the author and not the publisher anyway. It is also another good reason to get your e-books directly from the authors whenever possible. That`s right.

How this:LikeBe the first to love these […] Sorry, I got the impression of what you wrote above, that you are playing with the prices. And they suited them. I never said you left free, but I`m on a lot of self-thieves forums and knows that there are many authors who have made this game. And to me, it looked like they were following their conditions and quickly dealing with your problems. But you are right about the fact that they have a lot of power over us.
