Okay.
One of the approaches you use when you allow books to be sold—I read this somewhere, so correct me if I'm wrong—is that you approach small booksellers and you exact a sizable fee from them to list their books. You don't pay authors per copy when they download the book, but you pay per page. If they don't finish the book, then you pocket the difference. You track online what people read. If people are reading popular authors, you don't provide a discount to them, because you know they will buy the book anyway.
Do you think this is fair, or is what I'm saying wrong?
