Bookstore chain Books-A-Million and a group of independent publishers are two of the latest parties to come out against the proposed e-book price-fixing settlement between Hachette, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins and the Department of Justice.

According to Publishers Lunch, publishers Abrams Books, Chronicle Books, Grove/Atlantic, Chicago Review Press, New Directions Publishing, W.W. Norton, Perseus Books Group, The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group and Workman Publishing have signed a 28-page letter coming out against the settlement.

Nine independent publishers have combined to file joint comments objecting to the pending settlements of the Department of Justice's lawsuit with Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster related to e-book pricing. The publishers noted that while they continue to sell e-books under the wholesale model, they have “benefitted significantly”--along with authors, booksellers and consumers,-- from the ability of the Big Six publishers to adopt the agency pricing model with Amazon, since those arrangements, “contributed dramatically to increased competition and diversification in the distribution of e-books.”
