Clay Shirky has written a great little ditty about how we should fear cartels more than behemoths like Walmart, when it comes to books.
I for one never understood how home movies have fallen in price but not books. $35 hardcovers and $20 semi-hard covers keep me from buying books new. I wait for sales or finds on ebay, Kijiji...
If you want to charge more for blockbuster authors fine. But non-fiction, little known authors, don't think so...
