I&#39;m not knocking self publishing or booksellers, but it annoys me that Amazon is bullying publishers this way. They wouldn&#39;t go to Lays and say, Hey, sell us your potato chips for 45% off or else.Camy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577747925320907186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-48948953046921766722012-04-03T15:47:02.946-07:002012-04-03T15:47:02.946-07:00It seems to me there are a couple of entirely diff...It seems to me there are a couple of entirely different things going on here that therefore must be considered separately.<br /><br />On the one hand Amazon clearly has the corporate manners of a troll, for which there simply is no excuse.

But traditional publishing also has distribution connections that you otherwise have to pay for with self-publishing, whereas traditional publishing, you don&#39;t pay them, they pay you, and they do most of the production work (editing, cover, etc.). I&#39;ve done both.
