MacMillan's stance is to send more money to the author by keeping their share of the selling price in existence longer. Authors currently get a piece of the full retail but not the remaindered price of a physical book . Under MacMillan's new model they would still get a percentage even at the remaindered price level of an ebook.
Amazon's stance is to turn authors and publishers into share croppers working for sole buyer Amazon.
