Supposedly, the backlash from the 1984 thing was enough to scare them away from ever taking books back again, but they *can* do it, and who's to say, once people get more used to the idea that an e-book is basically a license, they won't do it again? <br /><br />It's a really interesting conundrum when you look at a situation like this. With the Leherer book recall, we (being B&N) were required to return the book to the publisher, and we offered a no-questions-asked refund to customers, but very few took advantage of it. You can't force a customer to bring back their product...unless it's on their device...Jessica Schleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295725932463022104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296813168362445740.post-86050994917214296162012-09-10T20:56:06.866-04:002012-09-10T20:56:06.866-04:00Exactly!

And it's one of the big reasons I remain skeptical of ebook pricing getting anywhere near print pricing, even though I used to work on the business management end of publishing and know exactly how little of a book's cost is in the printing. But ebooks are a fundamentally different animal in terms of what you're getting, and I think that reduction in end-user privilege should be accounted for. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Jessica Schleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295725932463022104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296813168362445740.post-30187872752861930422012-09-10T13:34:41.168-04:002012-09-10T13:34:41.168-04:00I have so many issues with the control Amazon and ...I have so many issues with the control Amazon and such have over their e-books you don't want to get me started. Let's just say I love my Kindle, but I think Amazon needs to be more forthright about their e-book practices.<br /><br />Great post! I'm a new follower!Emily R.

As a reader I would be upset if something I'd purchased was revoked, but as a publishing employee I can see why in some extreme cases that might be necessary.<br />Rebecca Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138361115317776477noreply@blogger.com
