Amazon pulls Macmillan books
Jan. 31st, 2010 01:16 pmMost people probably haven't noticed because it's the weekend, but Amazon (in the US) pulled all of the titles published by Macmillan group off of their website.
Print and e-book.
Want the latest Wheel of Time book? Can't get it directly from Amazon anymore. Tor is part of Macmillan. Sure, you can buy it through Amazon Marketplace, from some third party seller. But not from Amazon.
Why?
( long post is long )
I'm pretty much with the authors on this one. Regardless of the business struggle, Amazon chose an option of protest that screws over the authors. And I don't like that. It's the bully tactic.
