The Publishing War
Charles Stross explains the Amazon/MacMillan affair in the context of what's going on in publishing as a whole. It's easy (from the book consumer's standpoint) to see Amazon as "the good guiy" driving prices down, but it's useful to see where writers and publishers are coming from as well - the picture is way more complicated than Amazon would like us to think...

I see this morning that Amazon bowed to MacMillan, so they are back with their $14.99 (whatever) price point..
As Jobs said last week, sub $10 books are on the way out...
