*nods* For the Kindle, Amazon is essentially taking on some of the layout artist duties and all of the printing process. Everything up to that point, aside from what the author does (write the damn book to begin with, that is) is done and/or paid for by the publisher.

My issue is that, apparently, MacMillan is doing less in terms of production, demanding a higher percentage of the selling price, AND paying the author less. This ... does not seem like a reasonable business plan to me.

Would you be interested in some offline discussions of potential ways to Do It Better? (member of a group, that is, not so much 1:1.)
