Attorney General Looks Into Amazon Policy

Hi Everyone,

The big news this week is that the Attorney General of the State of Washington is looking into Amazon.com's policy to require that print-on-demand books sold on the site are also printed by its sister company, BookSurge, and those that are not will be charged a premium.

In other news, Borders, rumored to be up for sale, is jockeying for more favorable financing to make the company attractive to potential buyers.
