Hey this fact alone - "I'm the Creative Consultant for this television show, appearing Fridays on Syfy." is reason enough to not read his work. SGU is one of the most poorly written sci-fi shows I have ever seen. Good Sci-fi provides thoughtful creative ideas involving the interaction between scientific devlopments and humans - where science leads us. That show is more of a polished soap opera.
I'm not sure I entirely disagree with this blog post though. Amazon did handle the situation poorly (or did Macmillan just handle it very well?). Consumers don't care about publisher/distributor fights but they do care when thousands of books disappear from a catalogue abruptly.
To put it in context though, it's just a small speed bump in the developement of the e-book industry and Amazon is still one of the leaders in it.
