A very cogent analysis of the current fight between Macmillan (one of the major American publishers) and Amazon that has Amazon removing ALL of Macmillian’s titles from its “shelves” is presented by author Charles Stross. Stross is mostly focused on the fate of the large commercial legacy publishers here, but in an aside points out that if monster corporations like Macmillan can’t take on Amazon, micropresses like ours and self-publishers will have to accept any terms Amazon cares to dictate, Not sure I entirely agree with the prognosis here, but a very provocative read!
