As much as I hate publishers I have to agree that Amazon has too much power to make or break a new author. But I think partially the publishers themselves are to blame.

I don't quite get why you think Amazon is completely at fault here. It appears that Hatchette is trying to force its will on Amazon and Amazon is fighting back. And, considering the hyperbolic "bitch and moan" tactics Hatchette is using (by getting their buddies in the publishing business to back them) I'm guessing it's Hatchette who is unwilling to compromise. At any rate it's hardball negotiations, I guess we'll see who needs whom more, won't we?
