Will Amazon destroy the Indy-Publishing Industry?

Mar 30, 2008 12:00 AM

If you are like most people in America, you’ve probably never heard of two of the companies I’m about to write about: Ingram and Lightning Source.  But, somehow, I’m sure you’ve heard of Amazon (least not from me tirelessly pitching book sales over there).  If that’s the case, you might be a little puzzled by my statement that Amazon has now decided to go to war against the small and micro-publishing industry. If they succeed in what they’re pushing, then it might well spell the death of indy-publishing in this country.
