... and they're back!
Feb. 5th, 2010 06:51 pmMacmillan books on Amazon, that is. Which is ... interesting timing, making me wonder if was actually a week to the minute that they were gone.
In the meantime, Barnes and Noble and Macmillan made a bit of extra money out of me, and I became aware of the existence of a new author, Blake Charlton, of whom I might otherwise never have heard. I doubt it countervails the damage done by the whole mess, but it's something.
Interesting times.
ETA: No Kindle editions, though, as far as I can see with a few spot checks.
Incidentally, it boggles my mind a little that the mainstream media seem to have picked up the "Amazon capitulates" meme on Monday without ever checking Amazon's site to see what was really going on.
