Yep, you’re right. Those are all good questions.

I think Amazon is realizing that too, to a certain extent. They have changed their affiliate protocols for free book referrals so sites that only refer freebies get kicked out of the program or don’t get anything or something.

What more, I think their tendency to push freebies is more about driving sales and traffic away from other sites than anything else. Question is, what will befall the publishing industry by the time they’re finished pummeling their opposition? What will happen when the general public have come to expect such low prices? Wait… They already do.
