S&S may be going to HarperCollins? Man, that’s sad. I worked for S&S during the Viacom/CBS split, and even then there were rumors it might be sold off. By media conglomerate standards, traditional book publishing doesn’t contribute enough to the bottom line. It only pays to the extent it can feed material up the line.
I could definitely see Amazon crushing author’s incomes to that extent if that includes vanity programs like the Kindle Lending Library.
