I've been in publishing only a short while, but I've been around it
enough to have seen some of the big brew-ha-has involving Amazon. The
first was when Amazon yanked all print-on-demand titles not produced
through their print-on-demand arm. The second was when all MacMillan
ebook titles were pulled during the great agency debate. Well it's
happening again.
Independent Publishers Group, a large
distributor for independent presses and authors has had all 5,000 of
their ebooks pulled from the Amazon kindle. The print versions of their
books are still for sale.
The reason, is that their ebook
contract was up for renewal and IPG wanted the same terms, and Amazon
wanted a deeper discount. When they couldn't agree, Amazon pulled the
titles.
