The article states:
"If publishers were prepared to sell direct to consumer, for example, they would
gather data on who bought what books. They would know more about what sold,
when, to whom, and even maybe a bit about why. They would be in a position to
offer bargains, loyalty deals, tailored ads, and all the things which are the
lifeblood of modern commerce. But they cannot do these things because they have
yielded control of things they need in order to do them."
So, there must be some small publishers who are only selling their e-books
through their own websites. It seems to me that if I wanted a book and it was
only available thru the publisher and not Amazon, that I would go to that
publisher and buy it. Is it that difficult to set up e-book sales through one's
own publishing site?
Thanks for the link to this article, JH.
Best regards to all,
