I wasn't really pleased with that, and as a customer it feels kind of like I wasn't valued at all.
If the author went back up on B&N, I'd probably give them a second chance and I'd buy in an effort to demonstrate that B&N is profitable, but honestly if they yanked out under me again, I'd be done. You have the right to make a living, but I have the right to not be treated like a chump.

What's really bad is when you find an author you like and the books you are reading are part of a series. Then the books get yanked and put up on Amazon and you either have to buy the new books in the series from Amazon or you have to just stop the series. It feels like the authors who go with Amazon could care nothing at all for those of us that do not buy from Amazon.
