So, Now What?

Authors and Money

I wonder how many authors make money. For one thing, not a lot of people buy new books compared to the number that check them out from the library or buy them used. Plenty of people sell used books so it stands to reason that the copies sold doesn't even come close to the number of people that actually read the book. In any other industry this would be an outrage that would not be stood for, but this practice has sort of been grandfathered in as a traditional way to get books.
Do you think that Pizza Hut would be fine if only half of the people that actually ate a pizza from them actually paid for it?
