Since Amazon is in no way preventing you from doing so (witnessed by the existence of other sources for the material you DO crave [thanks for the "link-tual" evidence by the way]--not to mention how quickly/easily you were able to "spot the loonies" that turned up with an Amazon search), I have to suspect that you are being a tad disingenuous with that statement.
Of course, I guess it's technically
possible that you truly believe Amazon's continued success will bring about the utter demise of competently written/presented books on various medical topics. But then, though we disagree, you don't strike me as someone who has completely lost his senses.
The only reason this needs to continue being an Us vs Them situation is because the traditional powers in publishing continue to paint it as such. They're perfectly capable of change that will allow their basic way of life (as well as Amazon's success) to continue. They just have to stop clinging blindly to some of their historical "control." Control that they're
going to lose more of before all is said and done.
