If there is any truth to the statements that Hachette is taking forever to respond to Amazon then Hachette is kind of screwed. It is hard to take the high road when you are not even talking to the other party.
Amazon never had to send the deal to Hachette. They sent it to authors for their feedback knowing that it would be leaked. It gets their version of the story out to the authors, potentially decreasing the author anti-Amazon crap, and offers a solution that would be great for the vast majority of the authors affected by this mess.
