There’s quite a stir these days with the rumblings about Amazon trying to basically corner the print on demand market. What it means for small publishers, like myself, is perhaps a way of life coming to an end — before I even get started. I’m going into a wait and see — my book is scheduled for release in June of this year and perhaps there will be a different scenario by that time. Again, only time will tell. Anyone interested in reading about what’s going on can visit this page, writersweekly. Angela Hoy has a ton of links in relation to what’s happening almost up to the moment. http://www.writersweekly.com/amazon.php
Another good one is Shel Horowitz’s write up at http://principledprofit.com/good-business-blog/amazons-stupid-anti-competitive-move/2008/03/29/

I’ve read these types of articles about Amazon with a bit of shock. I haven’t had any problem with Amazon and my book. On the contrary, their people have really reached out to help me along the way.

I’m glad that’s been your experience Don. I hope it works out okay for me also. Elaine
