I started buying e-books from Elloras Cave and when my favourite authors started being published by Samhain I followed them and found other authors I liked. As long as e-publishers publish books I want to read I'll carry on buying and the RWA can carry on doing whatever it is it does.

Consumers only have so much money to spend. If they are buying ebooks, they aren't buying print. The old broads club's bottom line being threatened. ePublishers sell books.

It really doesn't make any sense unless they feel there are a few e-publishers out there that don't merit recognition but can't single them out. Who knows. I will still continue to buy from Samhain as I have read several very good books since they have been extant. I’m just so sad that RWA took that stand.
