Book Review: "Impact" & Douglas Preston
Summary: 1 Stars
In view of Mr. Preston's comments:
"The sense of entitlement of the American consumer is absolutely astonishing," said Douglas Preston, whose novel "Impact" reached as high as No. 4 on The New York Times's hardcover fiction best-seller list earlier this month. "It's the Wal-Mart mentality, which in my view is very unhealthy for our country. It's this notion of not wanting to pay the real price of something."
I think that this would be a perfect time for Mr. Preston to share with us [a] the amount of money he receives for each of his hardbound books that are sold and [b] why that amount would not be available to him within a $9.99 Kindle price. Come on, Dougie, fess up, baby! I like your stuff, but face it, it ain't great literature.
Finally, take note, at the higher prices you seem to want, a lot of us like me are going to go back to swapping books around and/or buying used books and THEN swapping them around.
Last, as the music biz learned, high prices for digital products =
