I think the reason publishers were peeved was they saw Amazon’s end game as being able to say we are lowering the prices and you will have to wear some of the haircut. It is basic WalMart – we control distribution – stuff. I could be wrong but that’s my take on it.
Cheers
Bernie

]]> Comment on Let’s Get Digital is Free on Amazon by Bill Davis http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/lets-get-digital-is-free-on-amazon/#comment-11634 Sun, 27 May 2012 09:21:58 +0000 http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/?p=2224#comment-11634 Thanks! Now we can be no longer flummoxed. Sort of a voiced velar (g vs. k/ch) version of Cochran, maybe. Gotcha. I certainly would never have guessed that. Anyway, I was actually in the middle of writing a blog post about the book when your comment arrived. Reviews will come soon, but later. This is a crazy busy week for our translation project and our internet only works when normal people SHOULD be in bed asleep. Things will lighten up mid-week.

Thanks again. I feel guilty getting such a helpful book for free, you scoundrel, so I will probably BUY a copy one of these days to assuage my conscience.

Enjoying the sample of A Storm Hits Valparaiso, in the meantime.

It’s pronounced Gock-ran. The strange spelling is probably down to the fact that it’s an anglicized version of Daithi Mac Eachrain (my name in Irish).

Thanks so much for all the HUGE amount of information. Wow. This will be a big help. I’m going to post some links and review to it soon.

Meanwhile, to help the linguist in me, how is your last name pronounced? When my wife and I are talking about the book, I’d like to get it right!

Images or a listing of titles. Would you please do a Simpleton’s Step-by-Step Guide on how to get the linking done. Thanks very much!

The plus: users will see all my books listed. The minus: users will have to click twice before they can read the sell copy for one or download the one that’s free.

The main thing though is marketing the book or product.
