No one has to study any of those things to know that you have an irrational hatred for all things Amazon. Every conversation leads to how immoral and evil they are. How terrible they are for employees, authors, consumers--the world!

I have no irrational hatred for Amazon. I buy more from them than anyone else online and sell there too.
They behave much like other Internet based large USA corps.

Stop putting words in my mouth. It's no crime to be critical.

And it's no crime to point out when someone is overly, annoyingly, broken-record, flogging a dead horse, critical.

Brandon is big, but he’s not even close to being a Rowling. We definitely tried, but they won’t give us anything but the standard deal with ebooks either, like they wouldn’t with Audible. Our Amazon guy reiterated that this week.

Maybe after we have some huge movies out things will change. Until then, nope.

That is honestly shocking. Audible, whatever. They have the big publishers there. But Kindle Unlimited, you'd think they would be hungry for best selling authors typically published by the big publishers to allow some of their books into Kindle Unlimited. It feels very short-sighted on Amazon's part.

Greed is always shortsighted.
