POD publisher files Amazon class action
A print-on-demand publisher in the US filed a class action suit against Amazon yesterday (19th May), in response to the internet retailer's threat to remove the "buy" buttons of publishers who refuse to sign up with its on-demand printing subsidiary BookSurge, reports Morris Rosenthal in his blog.
According to his report, the primary plaintiff in the suit is Booklocker.com, the company that first spoke out against the tactics that BookSurge was using.
