| The example is disingenuous. It's a tradeoff we have to make, and there's not many 50 year olds hoarding their masterpieces. |

| It has nothing to do with hoarding. There are lots of authors who have published works using something other than Amazon, and for each one that uses Amazon there is a first time they started doing so. Amazon didn't even exist 50 years ago. |

The 50 year old with a long history of publishing books, who now wants to sell those books on Amazon, has provenance to justify his case for exception. | | |
