      The overhead from digital publishing is vastly different than low-volume print. Further, you're only engaging the profit issue, not the issue of knowledge, accessibility, and cost. You're refusing to address the balance at all. Copyright fetishism is just bloody weird.

      I am really just saying but eBooks cost nearly as much to produce as a print version. Fixed costs all there. Print is a tiny bit. I know. It is nerdy...

      So we should limit availability to wealthy or connected individuals like the insufferable one that just liked your tweet? If academia has no place for disabled or poor scholars, then there's a bigger problem than profitability of university presses.

      Then don't have books. Put your work up on http://Academia.edu . or your own website. But don't hate a publisher for needing to cover their costs.

      Precisely what field do you think I could write in without using previously published books? Are you completely divorced from the reality I and others experience? We can't succeed without access. We can't get access without succeeding.

      I have zero institutional access. I'm chronically ill and traveling to a major library is iffy at the best of times, impossible now. I use every legal avenue available to me. Try and empathize with people like me as much as the publisher, at least.

      Name what you need and if I have access, I'm happy to share or help you find it. Always.

      Thanks, though at the moment I'm not in the right headspace for serious research. Spent three weeks trying to get through an IE studies book I'd normally finish in a week. But access issues caused me serious problems even in undergrad, so I'm pretty heated on it.

      Also get in touch with me if you need stuff. This woman is completely out of line and out of touch. Don’t use books? What kind of absurd nonsense.

      To be fair, I think her point was that authors should chose alternative publishing models, which is valid. But that doesn't really address the problem that any competent paper is going to need older materials as well.

      I don’t think that’s her point but I may be wrong. Her showing up here was harping on about publishers being paid and that getting free PDFs undermines that somehow.

          That's not how academia works. We're expected to wrack up publications not just post them on academia . . . because when we use open access places we are accused of "not being rigorous." Saying "dont publish books" isn't the answer. There are OP places though, like @punctum_books

          Also, Chris *has* access to this book in *normal* times. The pandemic has made it impossible to get that access. There is no alternate timeline of this scenario wherein he’d buy the book because the library he pays to have access to has already bought it.
