rolanniRegarding Amazon (yes, yes, me, too; in spades): It would appear that the Clueless and Stupid letter from The Amazon Kindle Team IS Amazon's Official Explanation of Their Actions.
Just. . .Wow.
Macmillan books are still not available for sale on Amazon.com.
Whatever issues a shout-out for author support at bookstores that are more interested in selling books than in Galactic Dominion.
Edited to add: Indiebound takes this moment to remind you that Macmillan books are at their website and at thousands of independent bookstores across the country.
In other news, I came home from work yesterday a very sick woman, and took immediately to my bed. I'm not feverish this morning, so! Off to work I go, I go.
Sigh. [whine] This, to me, is the single, most unforgivable perversion of the day-job: I go to work sick, and come home too worn out to do the actual real work that needs doing.[/whine]
Mozart's eye is very much better, which is a relief...and I need to make coffee.

Date: 2010-02-03 05:13 pm (UTC)I know that the printed book is becoming a dinosaur and facing extinction, and I frequently buy eBooks for traveling as my PDA which is smaller than a trade PB can hold dozens of books for reading. Thus eliminating the need to carry 5 lbs of books with me when I travel. But I like the feel of a book in my hands. The smell of that paper and ink are old friends that I don't want to see go away.
