I went over to find many Tor books that I currently like, including ones that could be legitimate contenders for the Hugo and Nebula awards this year, unavailable unless they come from other sellers.

I'm not sure that is the case with most people. I've never made a purchase from Amazon, and the only things I buy from B&N are remaindered books. And not very many of those. Both operations are Evil Empires.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208690678621864823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-31862079600495242362010-01-30T17:11:34.141-06:002010-01-30T17:11:34.141-06:00On Publishers Marketplace there's a letter fro...On Publishers Marketplace there's a letter from Macmillan which clears up that this was a decision by Amazon.<br /><br />Dumb move on amazon's part.
