“Imagine you’re an author of a book that was published a few years ago, but you’ve retained ebook rights. Someone wants to be able to give away digital copies of the book for free to an unlimited number of readers. What sort of fee should you demand? After all, if everyone can get your book for free, they probably won’t be buying the ebook anymore, and though some people might still want to buy a print copy, chances are there won’t be a lot of them.”
