Electonista is reporting that amazon is now retaliating against Penguin Books (which includes DAW, my publisher) since Penguin has stopped providing amazon with e-books in the continuing dispute over the pricing of the same.
What amazon has done is to slash the price of Penguin hardcover books to close to the price of the Kindle editions -- a move that electronista is saying will cost Penguin (and presumably, Penguin's authors as well). My books seem to be among those affected: I note that A MAGIC OF DAWN, released in hardcover last month, is priced right now at $11.69. So hey, if you want DAWN cheaply, now's the time to grab it! The hardcovers for A MAGIC OF NIGHTFALL (book 2 of the Nessantico Cycle) and A MAGIC OF TWILIGHT (book 1) remain at $18.96.
Once again, we'll see how this corporate power play works for amazon. Amazon's removal of MacMillan titles seems to have been a fiasco. I somehow doubt that Penguin's going to cave, either.
