All the Buzz about Amazon's New Policies

All the buzz about Amazon's new policies requiring self publishers to use their own in house printer (BookSurge) leaves a bad taste in this publisher's mouth. While it shouldn't have an effect on LJW titles since sales are handled through an established distributor, it has to be said that the drama alone is making Barnes & Noble.com sound better and better. Theyoffer the same free shipping bonus after the expenditure of $25 and less advertorial distractions. I don't blame all the writers and publishers who are vehemently opposed to Amazon due to their introduction of BookSurge or else policies. It just doesn't seem like the most upstanding move the conglomerate could have made, but then, I'm not the head of a massive conglomerate. If I were maybe I'd be thinking differently.
