Technology Popular titles such as "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay were once again available in hardcover for $17.13. But Amazon's website displayed a message for those wanting to read the book on a Kindle: "Tell the publisher! I'd like to read this book on the Kindle." Neither Amazon nor the privately held Macmillan were immediately available to comment. Amazon temporarily removed all titles published by Macmillan, whose imprints include Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and Henry Holt and Co, from its website last weekend. The online retailer has come under fire from a number publishers for the low prices it charges for e-books to spur demand for the Kindle, hoping to fend off new rivals such as Apple Inc that are set to join the e-books fray with the iPad. Amazon currently charges $9.99 for the e-book version of most new releases and bestsellers. Macmillan wanted to charge $12.99 to $14.99 for the e-book version of most of its books.

ChasC Report As Abusive Feb 06, 2010 2:04pm EST At 9.99 for a digital copy, the publisher makes more than they make on a hardcover book. They DO have the right to charge what they want. WE as consumers have the right to boycott their books until they agree with Amazon’s position. Report As Abusive Feb 06, 2010 2:32pm EST Don’t be bullied Amazon! rustynail Report As Abusive Feb 06, 2010 3:22pm EST @Lisa Shumaker Come on, this is lazy, single-sourced journalism. You’re apparently using Amazon’ unsigned letter on the Kindle blog as your basis for reporting the revised pricing structure. Macmillan USA CEO John Sargent has made two public statements in the last week explaining the proposed agency model, which provide dynamic pricing ranging from $5.99 to $14.99. This is not simply a price increase, as Reuters and other reputable business sources have reported. This is an entire change to the pricing model. I’m disappointed to see you playing into Amazon’s slanted version of the story without any discussion of the realities of Macmillan’s proposal. Sargent’s two statements are widely available on the Internet, including at tor.com. I hope to see you put some effort into revising the story to reflect the nuances of this situation. The writerly blogosphere has done a masterful job of covering this, you could easily find dozens of sources to discuss this, myself included. And yes, full disclosure: I am a Macmillan author through the Tor Books imprint.
