I doubt Amazon is doing much advertising or notifying of new titles by Hatchette authors.
Down 60+% across all sellers shows off Amazons strength relative to others selling books and it's not immediately obvious what the authors/publishers can do to change those buyers habits.
Amazon owns the relationship and by most accounts is effective in warding off any significant defection from it.
