Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
Just do it, Hachette.
Go for it!
Quote:
think that if Hachette wants to have a shot at beating Amazon in this round of fighting, it has to pull its books and ebooks from the retailer. And it has to do so publicly, explaining to its authors, the industry and as many readers as possible why it’s doing what it’s doing.
And what would that “why” be?
Well, knowing little of the inner workings of the negotiation, maybe something like, “we have decided to discontinue selling our books through Amazon because the retailer will not agree to a deal with us that we believe allows us to continue publishing the books you love.” Simple, glossing over the details.
