Support for Hachette in Amazon dispute

Roger Tagholm reports in PN that Hachette's dispute with Amazon is being watched closely by the entire industry and, in particular, by other publishers who admire the stance being taken by Hachette Livre UK CEO Tim Hely Hutchinson.

One publisher told PN: “It needs someone like Hachette or Random to stand up to Amazon and say 'no more'. Otherwise, Amazon are going to continue to pick people off, getting half a percent here, half a percent there.”
