Amazon sells more books than anyone else on the planet, so they must be an enemy of literacy, right?
I have my beefs with some of the things Amazon does, but darn it, Ursula, that's just stupid.
Unless her real beef is that Amazon DOES allow anyone to publish there, reducing her special snowflake status. After all, we can't have the proles reading and writing stuff, that might lead to thinking and then where will we be?
EDIT: between this and the Daniel Handler fiasco, the NB awards must have been quite the venue for awkward and insulting speeches.
