Weekend Chatterbox: How will the DOJ Amazon.com Settlement Affect You?

Usually during the summer I pick a super large book to read. This year, however, I read the legal documents and various blog posts about the DOJ lawsuit against  Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster ( Wall Street Journal.)

Because Apple and others have already submitted appeal documents we may never see the change in prices. However, I’m curious both as a book buyer and an author. How will this settlement affect me?

  • As a book buyer will this protect my ability to buy cheaper digital books?
  • As an author will these cheap digital books price me out of the book writing business?

I don’t know. Maybe if I here your thoughts I wouldn’t feel so confused. So that is why this question is our Weekend Chatterbox question: How will the DOJ Settlement affect you?
