Glad that's over! Not that it affected me in any way, but the whole debate was starting to feel like some sort of public marital dispute going on in a supermarket, just embarassing to watch.

Both sides took turns claiming they were just looking out for the little guy. Hachette even tried to pretend they were the little guy, instead of part of a huge corporation. They each trotted out their "kids" (authors) to make public opinion sway one way or the other, but eventually both sides were just hurting themselves as it looked so pathetic.

Now we'll just have to wait and see if this actually lowers ebook prices or not.
