‹ First year Kindle sales vs. popular gadgets first year sales: How does the Kindle compare? •
Today BookLocker.com has filed an antitrust suit against Amazon.com on behalf of POD (Print On Demand) publishers.
It all started in late March when Amazon contacted a number of US small presses and self-publishers to say that if they didn’t use Amazon’s in house print on demand wing called BookSurge then the “Buy” buttons on the Amazon page for their books will be removed. They could then only sell their books on Amazon through a third party.

We will keep our eye on this as the story develops we’ll let you all know what happens.
