To Err is to be Amazon

Is it me or does anyone else think the pricing war between "store bots" at Amazon is ridiculous? Here's my logic on this subject:

-Amazon bots fight to give the best price until it goes below a dollar.
-Now the book is deeply discount compared to the published price the author has placed on it.
-And said author still gets the royalty price preset for every sale made.


It would cost me more to buy my book with shipping through my publisher than paying under a dollar for a book with $3.99 flat shipping (if I buy in bulk). My publisher doesn't make as much money off me through my stocking needs and the Amazon bot loses ( I believe) by selling it at a loss.

I am making this blog short because the discussion is expected to be overwhelming, I'm sure. Tell me your thoughts on authors using these bots to their fullest advantage.

    About the Author

    Adam Santo is a SciFi/Fantasy writer who enjoys the quiet moments to write stories. His debut novel, Temperature: Dead and Rising, took the world for a ride they would soon not forget. Santo began plotting out the second paperback novel, Temperature: Bitter Cold, before the ink dried on his first book. Santo continues to write nonstop because he knows there is always a story waiting to get out.

    When he is not writing, Santo enjoys quality time with his family and friends, spending the occasional weekend at a movie theater, and reclaiming his youth when his son challenges him to a video game. Santo currently resides in sunny Florida with his beautiful wife and equally beautiful children.
