"These [Adobe’s] fees may be a drop in the ocean for large publishing houses, but for those of us who publish on a more independent scale, we’re effectively being priced out of the market. … Not content with charging outrageous prices for bloated, processor-intensive, crash-happy software, they [Adobe] want to make the publishing industry exclusive once again and ignore the last 25 years that fostered such innovation."
