No the question is can they successfully tell people that it is Hachette's inefficiency that is causing the delays, and they won't sign a contract to make it worth Amazon's while to lay in a huge stock in their own warehouses that they may be unable to sell?

As far as making books unavailable on the Kindle, haven't we long since concluded that that claim was a frakking lie?
