Title: Brandon got a blurb in The New York Times...
Post by: guessingo on February 01, 2010, 04:04:22 AM: The article is not about Brandon, but still it is better than being mentioned for something crazy.

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.

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.
