Amazon Absorbing Price Fight Punches - NYTimes.com

The book *opoly debate continues

"Sitting against a wall at the Javits Center after his own appearances, Hugh Howey wasn’t so sure. A self-published author who has found big sales on Amazon for his “Wool” series, he had spent time in a booth with 11 other self-published authors who had sold 20 million books among them. (When you think about it, they may be a bigger threat to the publishers than Amazon’s pricing, but I digress.)

“They both have a share of the blame,” he said. “But if publishers don’t like the terms, they are free to pull their books off of Amazon, although I think the first one of them to break ranks and really partner with Amazon is going to wipe out the rest of the industry.”"
