• 21st Century Dust up - MacMillan wants to charge more for non-tangible goods, Amazon, their distributor won't let them. Broken System Ho! #
• What baffles me about Amazon/MacMillan is that Amazon seems to have started to set MSRP's. Shouldn't that be the Publisher's job? #
• Hell, when you self-publish using Amazon's Digital Text Platform you set the price yourself. Why should Publishing Houses be different? #
• Damn, The Losers trailer is kickass. #
• More on the MSRP issues at play on Amazon (via @brianreed) http://tinyurl.com/yg39ozr #
• It seems like I was wrong, the opposite of what I said is true. Amazon apparently is fine losing money on every sale. Sigh. #
• @Avatarpress Yeah, it doesn't ring true to me, either... Especially as something that Amazon is going to fight this hard about. in reply to Avatarpress #
