See, the point here is pretty simple, (I have mentioned earlier) no need to fear Google as it only expands the market and creating broader audience base.
If it’s not Rowling and likes books don’t get this amount of publicity and neither it is marketed like a movie or a soap. The author said in her blog,
As a person who spends a large part of her day trying to get people to read her book, I asked my publisher to include me in Google Print.
They said no.
Kinda sucks for me, because not that many people know about my book and this might help them find out about it. I fail to see what the harm is in Google indexing a book and helping people find it. Anyone can read my book for free by going to the library anyway.
In case you guys haven’t noticed, books don’t have marketing like TV and Movies do. There are no commercials for books, this website isn’t produced by my publisher. Books are driven by word of mouth. A book that doesn’t get good word of mouth will fail and go out of print.
Personally, I hope that won’t happen to my book, but there is a chance that it will. I think the majority of authors would benefit from something like Google Print.
Oh well. What a shame.
