Amazon's agency agreement with MacMillan was signed on 5 February 2010. By the end of March Amazon had signed agency agreements with all but Penguin. My comments on both Fictionwise and Books on Board from my previous post remain unaffected, as does my timeline. Books on Board did indeed stop carrying Big 5 books, but not voluntarily. Please read the Publishers Weekly article I linked to in my last post, and the quote from that article. The owner of Books on Board blamed not only the deep pockets of his competitors but also the loss of 70% of his customers after the introduction of agency.
