It is one thing when it is one Publisher but all 6 at the same time is just going to be a PR nightmare.

Amazon does not want to lose those books and those publishers do not want to lose Amazon. I am sure they will hash things out and there is not going to be a problem. I just have a feeling that Amazon is in a better negotiating position then the Big 6 at the moment.

I hope not. I hope that someone does put a cork on Amazon. While it would suck that the BPH could get their books pulled...it's ridiculous that Amazon is acting in this manner.
