I suspect that's why more avid readers aren't clamoring for changes to the seriously dysfunctional aspects of the publishing industry: we're not remotely short on things to read. Too busy reading to worry about what happens to the market; it'd be nice if they got that straightened out, but, meh, call me when I'm running low on books mmkay?

Even when I was on a really tight budget for books, I had to *search* to find good things to read, dig through secondhand piles to find the ones in my genre range. I looked forward to being able to afford more of the ones that were just out of reach. Now that I have money to spend, I'm swamped with choices; I don't have to even think about the ones just beyond my sweet price range. I don't have time to read all the freebies I want, much less all the under-$5 ebooks I can afford.
