Interesting read.
Well, yes, Lynn Abbey is an author, and she's against what Macmillan's doing, but, if you read her posts, you'll see she's ALSO against what Amazon's doing. That's exactly what Lemurion was saying: they may or may not support Macmillan, but I haven't seen a single author who supported Amazon. Some, like Lynn, are against both.
