I got a response to my SFWA email from Mary Kowal, Secretary SFWA:
Quote:
Dear Mr. Chaffin,
On the issue of pricing, people have differing opinions on whether Amazon or Macmillan is pursuing the correct strategy. What we’re responding to is Amazon removing links to our members’ works. Amazon is in its rights to remove those links, but we prefer to send our links to stores where readers can find our members’ work.
To use an oversimplified analogy, if someone needed to buy a widget, would you send them to a store which doesn't carry that widget?
Yours,
Mary
