In the rapidly collapsing traditional publishing world, news just out that Print on Demand publishers are being told to use Amazon's own BookSurge POD printer or else Amazon will disable the 'buy' button for their books. After hemming and hawing, an Amazon/BookSurge rep 'finally admitted that books not converted to BookSurge would have the "buy" button turned off on Amazon.com. Several other POD publishers have had similar conversations with Amazon/BookSurge reps... It would seem that their eventual aim is to have no books from other POD publishers available on Amazon.com.' So much for Amazon's Vision Statement: "Our vision is to be earth's most customer centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online." Dead right... As long as it comes from Amazon!
