Amazon and Macmillan are both acting in their own best interests. However, most authors believe that Macmillan's agency model will at the very least not harm them any more over the long term than Amazon's model, and that Amazon's past and current behavior shows they are more than willing to throw them under the bus without hesitation.

Please provide examples of why you believe Amazon is less willing to work with authors than MacMillian and I will not accept the recent removal of MacMillan titles as an example of negative behavior towards authors as that is not the case it was directed at the publisher not the authors.
Truth is that yes Amazon and MacMillan will both attempt to protect themselves, but the truth is also that the plan from MacMillan is more likely to harm authors (in particular their income) than anything Amazon has done.
