I'm confused, is she referring to Amazon or Barnes & Noble? After all, B&N did the same thing to S&S last year that Amazon did to Hatchette. I'm not in the book business, but it's been my impression that besides a few national review columns/magazines, the buyers at big chain booksellers (B&N, formerly Borders, B Daltons, etc.) are the arbiters of content. It's been my impression that Amazon has basically just been pressuring the publishers on price, not content. Does anyone have any anecdotes showing that Amazon exerts pressure on the publishers based on content?
