    You mean the authors would actually earn money instead of the “publisher”? How unfair! /s

    When mist books were made of paper, the publishers job was quite the deal including printing, delivering, stocks, pulp the rests etc. So they took the lions share of the price together with the bookstore and the author got maybe 10-15% from the final price.

    Today it’s just theft.
