"Teicher, the ABA head, says the issue isn't about progress -- it's that Amazon is "using the book industry as a loss leader to get people to buy TVs."
"Book buyers are good consumers, and Amazon knows that," Teicher says. "So they get drawn in and then encouraged to buy different products. Meanwhile Amazon's hurting the book industry for the sake of profits."
Now that's hilarious. Has anyone pointed out to this dweeb that Amazon started as a bookstore, competing with--Barnes & Noble!, who also published low cost volumes? And I hate to tell him, but I buy electronics from a variety of places, including Amazon. I bought them from Amazon before I owned a Kindle.
What an ultra-maroon.
Regardlessly,
