Well, it's now Wednesday and the Macmillan books still aren't back up on Amazon's website yet. Has Amazon changed their mind about folding? Are they still in negotiation?
One thing Amazon could do -- accept Macmillan's scheme and list the book at $14.99 then give the customer an immediate $5 rebate. Macmillan would have to pay Amazon their 30% commission which is $4.50, so Amazon would lose $0.49, but this is less than what they are losing now. Damn! I should work for Amazon.
