Why would a bookseller not be able to order a book to be delivered to their store? I don't get it.
Yeratel Wrote:As of Wednesday night, all of the Macmillan/Tor books are back in the Amazon.com store, including the Kindle editions of FPW's stuff.I just checked, and this does not appear to be so, at least with respect to the Tor hardback edition of Secret Circles. Maybe you are seeing links on the Amazon website to third-party sellers?
Yeratel Wrote:Yep, glad I pre-ordered, and got it in my hands already. I see today all your books are still listed on Amazon, but only through third-party sellers, and not through Amazon.com directly. That means no Kindle versions, for right now, but the Kindle version of Ozymandius I already bought still shows up in my Archived Books.My non-MacMillan titles still have BUY buttons.

webby Wrote:I'm more ticked off with McMillan.
As long as Amazon pays McMillan whatever they ask for wholesale, how exactly does McMillan have any right to tell Amazon what they can charge for retail? If Amazon wants to take a loss on every Kindle download, that's their concern. Once Amazon bought those books from McMillan, Amazon owns them. McMillan should have no more say about pricing at that point.
And now it looks like Rupert Murdoch (who owns HarperCollins) will be going after Amazon too...
