Thu, 13:09: Really twisted logic here - http://t.co/FYMT8E48vY #TeleRead (Not by me, but @1to1Discovery makes an excellent point.)
Fri, 02:46: SFWA endorses Douglas Preston’s open letter without consulting its membership http://t.co/8aqfbZShW1 #TeleRead @sfwa
Fri, 03:50: John Scalzi tells readers to do as he says, not as he does http://t.co/00UhSalamt #TeleRead @scalzi
Fri, 10:45: Remember, Douglas Preston said readers have a "sense of entitlement" for wanting low e-book prices.. http://t.co/fqzvAa1o39 #FutureChat
Fri, 11:03: Preston upset Amazon isn't discounting Hachette. Yet, Hachette broke law to PREVENT Amazon discounting. http://t.co/eNMFWMnUFR #FutureChat
Fri, 11:06: Hachette is using author catspaws (including celebs) and leaks to try to influence readers. Amazon, classier, is keeping mum. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:08: Preston bashes Amazon with Hachette talking points, then claims he "[isn't] taking sides". Who does he think he's fooling? #FutureChat
Fri, 11:13: Interesting: polls show public still likes Amazon even now. http://t.co/sFIwDiLzUN #FutureChat
Fri, 11:17: I've held 15 year grudge against publishers for not bothering to keep price parity btn e-book and print in Fictionwise days. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:18: Even as late as agency pricing in 2010, there were still $25 paperback e-books on Fictionwise. Publishers just didn't care. #FutureChat

Fri, 11:19: Poor, poor publishers who blew their chance to build direct e-book relationships with consumers (like #Baen did). #FutureChat
Fri, 11:23: Funny Preston trying to appeal to consumers now. Apparently he's forgotten our "sense of entitlement." http://t.co/fqzvAa1o39 #FutureChat
Fri, 11:26: Direct sales, dropping DRM not panacea. Amazon Kindle users will tend to continue buying Amazon. #futurechat http://t.co/LFyym5eyfH
Fri, 11:28: Most Kindle owners are avg joes who don't want to fiddle with learning to sideload. Want to push button, magically get e-book. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:29: I worked TV tech support 3 yrs, I KNOW just how un-tech-savvy avg consumer is. It's why Baen went Amazon. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:30: Baen offered DRM-free Mobi. Ppl still kept asking "Why aren't you on Kindle?" Baen saw writing on wall. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:35: My Mom wanted to sideload some Gutenbooks to Kindle. Had to talk her through it over phone. Took half an hour. #FutureChat
Fri, 11:46: I like the trad authors who tell us not to take sides...then go and take sides themselves. #futurechat http://t.co/PmpN0Sd60I
Fri, 11:51: Getting back to the letters this #futurechat is about, SFWA endorsed Preston's w/o consulting its members. http://t.co/mO31KoJ0US
