Great article, I haven't really been following the Amazon-Hachette story but Stross makes a lot of sense (as I expected, I love his work). I don't know enough about publishing to imagine a solution, but it seems like the publishing companies and authors will have to work together to sell their books through a different system. Amazon needs some good competition anyway, sounds like now may be the right time to make a push for it. I have no idea what form that would take though, Amazon is so good at what they do.
