I got couple of [good](https://jenniferonwriting.blogspot.in/2008/05/all-about-print-runs.html) [definitions](http://www.deanwesleysmith.com/the-new-world-of-publishing-what-is-a-print-run-grandpa/) of the traditional Print run. One of the disturbing things mentioned in one of the definitions that many a times 50 percent of them are destroyed. How it was destroyed is not known but if it has anything to do with burning of books or something, bad for everybody. I am surprised if that used to be the case. I come from India and here for most people one big source of fiction books has been something called booksbyweight [https://www.facebook.com/Booksbyweight/](https://www.facebook.com/Booksbyweight/) . This is very popular with millennials who go to discover new authors, new genres at very low cost. While this is good for the seller and probably a bit for Publishers, are authors compensated for it ? I would also ask what authors think of it.
