The article is not about Brandon, but still it is better than being mentioned for something crazy.

Who's Brad Sanderson?

Brandon isn't exactly a hard name to get right. :-\

Brad Sanderson. Ouch.  ::)

I don't know what to say about the actual context of the article... I feel like e-books are priced too high as it is, though I guess it's more competitive for new releases that are still in hardbound.

Brad Sanderson is Brian Anderson's cousin.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

According to John Scalzi the buy buttons are back at Amazon, but only for used books. I feel bad for the authors caught up in this. They are collateral damage in a dispute with 2 large companies. I would think most authors make the vast majority of their money off of selling books and not off of e-books.

Authors as popular as Brandon are fine, but TOR has alot of authors who don't sell alot of books.... This is lame.
