Amazon e as vendas directas ou como a loja começa a mostrar as garras

Depois de ter anunciado que a venda de obras em sistema POD será possível apenas com o seu próprio sistema de impressão a pedido, a Amazon vem deixar claro que não vê com bons olhos a venda directa das editoras nos seus websites, com desconto:


«AMAZON HAS THREATENED publishers who sell direct at discount on their own websites with punitive action. PN understands that it has said that if the publisher continues, Amazon will take the selling price as the RRP and apply its terms of trading to that price. In other words, if Amazon receives a 50% discount from Penguin, for example, but Penguin is selling a £20 book for £15 on its website, Amazon will only give Penguin £7.50, rather than £10»
