I think the letter is very bad as a another author I follow said if she did what they asked ran the risk of taring her name as a trouble maker, and that could affect her if she ever wanted to try and get a trad publishing deal, as she assumes that the trad publisher people talk to each other. She's not going to risk anything to her reputation when she's not involved right now.
She also knows Amazon is her biggest retailer but she also places her books all over the place, I.e Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, AllRomance as she knows it would be bad news to give Amazon a monopoly.
If Amazon can't agree terms with Hatchette they should simply stop selling their books. Let Hachette explain the situation to their own authors. Either that or let Hachette set their own prices and let the readers decide. This war of words is a pr nightmare, for both sides.
