They wanted to sell digital ebooks for the same price as hard copies even though the production/distribution costs were much less and wanted to keep that extra profit for themselves.

Amazon wanted them to reduce prices in line with costs AND wanted more to go to the authors.

Publishers wanted to keep insane profits while only giving the authors 10%.

Quit making things up. You are pulling "facturds" out of your ass. . . and these statements are false on their face. Not a single thing you just wrote has any basis in fact. Not a single one. I have been following this battle from the onset and you are just lying now. I am done. TROLL.

“Not a single thing you just wrote has any basis in fact.”

LOL! Apple, if fact strongly objected to the high price the publishers wanted to set saying it would kill ebook sales and thus proposed a mid-point between the publishers wants and Amazon’s prices.
