Barnes & Noble, the giant that put so many independent booksellers out of business, now finds itself locked in the fight of its life, with Amazon.com lurking in the background. 

Use OverDrive, an alternative to Amazon's Prime accounts only Kindle Lending Library program

Fascinating read on bundling print books with free e-books.

In which, among other things, ebook retailer giants (Amazon, Apple) turn down e-books because they contain links to a competitor's product.

Strained relations between e-book publishers and the major online retail channels.

The best reason to buy an e-reader in the first place? That's the claim made here about Amazon Singles.

Great piece on the cost of e-books and the dangers posed by Amazon.

Amazon started life as a book retailer, and as a book retailer they made books cheaper. Then they were pioneers in the e-book industry where they made books cheaper. Their recently announced plan to give readers free e-book copies of books they buy in physical form doesn't make books cheaper per se, but it does give readers greater value for their book-buying dollar. This is all great stuff. But not everyone agrees. Emily Gould complains that "When ebooks and pbooks are bundled, the ebooks are sold at a loss. That's authors', publishers' and, associatively, non-AMZN retailers' loss" and "frustrating we have to keep explaining that ebook production is not free. digital objects are not made by elves."

Interesting commentary on the the ruling against Apple on e-book pricing.

Interesting reaction from the ABA to Amazon-as-job-creator speech given by the President.

Does the MatchBook program further devalue e-books?  Of course it does.

Amazon no friend of publishing.

It's a book that I wish I would have authored!

Continuing bad behavior from Amazon.  How is this good for publishing?
