For those not keeping score: AU, an organization nominally designed to support authors, has made a habit over the last few years of bitching and moaning about Amazon's "unfair" practices. Nothing Amazon has done is illegal, nor unfair, to date. On the contrary, Amazon:
- offers authors better royalties than traditional publishers
- offers authors fairer contract terms than traditional publishers
- permits authors to retain complete control over their IP and pricing
- allows anybody to publish
- MORE AUTHORS making money doing what they love
- MORE BOOKS being published
LOWER PRICES ON BOOKS
AU, please do us indies a solid and stop going after Amazon. I personally like the higher royalties and better terms Amazon offers, and enjoy retaining control over my IP. I'm pretty sure my indie brothers and sisters do as well.
For the record, AU's arguments don't hold any water (I have a legal background) so I doubt the Attorney General takes their latest missive seriously. So then, you might ask, what's got me so pissed off?
It rankles me that AU spends its time and considerable resources picking these inane fights with Amazon, when it could be doing much more important things, you know, like challenging the Big 5 to get traditionally published authors better contract terms.
There's a reason why they don't and it doesn't take a cynic to figure it out.
For better insight: Joe Konrath fisks.
For laughs: Jen Rasmussen brings the funny.
