Amazon has made a change to the way it sells books, which may hurt publishers
This article reads like a poorly researched PR piece for the publishing industry.<p>They&#x27;re not really saying anywhere.the books by third party sellers are fake. Then they must have come from the publisher legitimately one way or the other and hence the publisher must have been paid. The only difference is how much he was paid. It&#x27;s likely some country branch of the publisher cut a deal to unload some books for cheap to a distributor and that&#x27;s coming back to Amazon. So the publishing executive in that market made lot&#x27;s of revenue in his scorecard at the cost of cannibalizing Amazon account seller&#x27;s business.<p>This sort of thing is quite common and perfectly legal.
