The Hachette book generally seen as critical of Amazon, The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon, is now available in hardcover, for immediate shipping, at a 46 percent discount. And the Kindle edition of this October 2013 release is selling for the attractive price of US$6.49, the price apparently uninfluenced by MacKenzie Bezos's negative review.

It is quite decent of the company not to, now that the commercial dispute is over, retaliate against this book for its content.

Don't say I never said anything nice about Amazon

Or is it that Hachette set a low price to get out the anti-Amazon message? I don't think that's it, because the ability of Hachette to set its own prices probably is not yet effective.
