Totes.  A few of my author friends hated it before - I'm sure they hate it even more now.

It's almost Dickensian (as in the actual guy, not his writing) in that its incentivizing authors to stretch out stories because they're getting paid by the page.

That's not how I read it. 

You'll get the same amount for the book as before in total.  You're just not getting it upfront or at the 10% mark - you're only getting the 100% payment if the person reads 100% of the book.

Virginia - No Mention Of Dave Mathews.  This almost fully redeems the previous oversight.
