Caught between Amazon and Apple, a small publisher feels the pressure.

Amazon seeks to control more of the book supply-chain.

Target fights back against Amazon "showrooming".

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. 

Amazon no friend of publishing.

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