I just found your blog this evening. I did enjoy the Listener articles about Ebooks, and how to publish online.
I am sure that there are many challenges for authors, publishers and booksellers in the current market.
I must admit to owning a Kindle, after getting it as a gift last year. For me, I had certainly stopped buying books about five years ago due to their crazy prices. I was limited to only buying a few a year and mostly through trademe. I probably read two or three a week, but have always used my library to source them from.
Since getting my Kindle I have bought about 150 books for it, although I have noticed that in the last six months that prices have almost doubled for many books, and feel that Amazon do rip us off in the Asia/Pacific region compared to both US/UK customers.
I do feel sorry for the booksellers of NZ, but times are tough and for me groceries and bills have to be bought ahead of $40 books.
