I understand this row is due to Amazon and the Kindle website. What I don't get, but then I'm looking at it from a commercial standpoint rather than a Publishing one, is why Waterstones and WH Smith don't just beef up their websites. I totally get the point about publishers losing revenue, but this is the 21st century and surely these publishers actually want sales. EReaders are really the best idea, but only if books are available. This situation is ridiculous, I have protested to both Smiths and Waterstones, and shall simply download and buy elsewhere in future.
You do have a dangerous way of typing!
