@Ryuji35. This is old news. All but the last of your links relate to the Hachette dispute and the associated and infamous Authors United intervention. They have been done to death here, but IMHO Amazon emerges unscathed. Your last link on delivery charges by Amazon is interesting. I haven't previously come across it. My initial reaction is that the charge is over the top, but then again it is a graphics intensive travel book, and I presume the charge relate to delivery over Whispernet (3G). I don't think it is of any more than at best marginal relevance to this thread, but it raises an interesting issue I would like to know more about.
