'...when amazon tightens its chokehold around publishers, it is authors who suffer. the houses shrink the number of titles they publish; they carve out advances they pay to authors into smaller chunks, doled out over larger spans of time. we can hardly ascribe the collapse in author pay to amazon alone, but it has become a primary driver of the deflation of writing. facebook and google have found an even more effective cure for writing's cost disease. they never, ever, under any circumstances, pay for it.' - franklin foer
