So tell these publications to understand what's at stack before calling Amazon crazy. Look at it from the consumer point of view and see who's the one that's against the consumer.
Well, I'm a consumer and from my point of view, I don't want to see books and ebooks treated as a race to the bttton, generic commodity. I buy books from specific authors, not generic "parts is parts" ebooks.
