Amazon Affects Authors

The Bookseller reports on Hatchette's observation that Amazon's tactics affect authors.

Amazon took to its Kindle forum on Tuesday (27th May) to say that it was “not optimistic” that its dispute with Hachette would be resolved soon but that it had offered to contribute to a financial "author pool" to help “mitigate the impact of this dispute on author royalties”.

Given no one is planning on yielding, it's hard to see how this going to end.
