I’m going on record as saying I hate hardcovers. I mean, sure there’s probably some archival value to it, and maybe you need a sturdier binding for something like the Oxford English Dictionary, but other than it – there’s no reason you’re making me pay $30 for the fucking hardcover for new releases. Just give me the cheap paperback and the ebook right away, you godless-fucking-swine.
There is more awareness in this interview than any others I’ve seen with writers lately. And it’s infected throughout with great stuff I could quote. Go read.

Seriously. I remember being poor and picking up remaindered hardcovers for cheap… then one day it struck me, who’s actually getting paid here, and why does the publishing industry need to flood the market, then drive demand in order to maintain that market?
