IN RESPONSE TO THE BOOKLOCKER / AMAZON ANTITRUST CASE: What self-publishing services like BookLocker need to come to terms with ... is that Amazon is a business and like any business ... must make a profit. Amazon has been accepting an influx of self-published books that don''t offer any profit. Amazon''s BookSurge (for the record) also participates in this influx ... the only difference being that BookSurge makes a profit for Amazon. Many self-publishing services offer an extremely minimal wholesale discount that (after the wholesale distribution source like Ingram takes its cut) leaves the reseller (like Amazon) with little to zero profit margin. Why would any retailer carry stock that they cannot make a profit on? BookLocker is among those self-publishing services that do not provide a reasonable wholesale discount on its books.

Amazon's Kindle has enjoyed apparently robust popularity since it debuted last fall; the first run of the eBook reader sold out, even at the initial $399 price point, and Amazon had only limited inventory for some time. The company later cut the unit's price to a marginally more acceptable $359, a move that must have spurred some additional sales. But how many units was Amazon actually moving? Newly-reported data suggests that Kindle sales over the past nine months may have exceeded Amazon's expectations, and made the company a killing in the process.

Elizabeth, What about Amazon using book sales as its loss leader? You know, where a company intentionally loses money on one or a multitude of products to lure in customers to sell others where they do make a profit? Perhaps Amazon should quit discounting books so heavily, if they are losing money--they have a choice, despite their decision not to leave POD publishers any. Why don't they stop discounting altogether if they're losing so much that we should feel sorry for them? And why can't they own up to being a book retailer and accept 40% off list like other bookstores, online or not? Why is it that Amazon's BookSurge, in two years of Amazon ownership, could not compete on a level playing field with the rest of the POD print providers?

JagsLive informs us that the electronics retailer Newegg.com is defying New York lawmakers; it has suddenly stopped collecting sales tax from New York online shoppers. The "Amazon tax," which went into effect June 1, requires online merchants to collect sales tax if they have any affiliates in the state. Amazon is complying but has sued the state on constitutional grounds. Overstock.com dropped all of its New York affiliates and then joined the Amazon lawsuit. Newegg started out complying with the law on June 1, but stopped collecting taxes for New York on August 21. From Newegg's letter to its customers: "After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008," reads an email the company tossed at customers late last week, including at least one l
