We have a friend whose book is/was published by Amazon.com.
She was ignored or abused by the so called established book publishers. Her book is scheduled for release the middle of next month.
Amazon people treated her very well from the beginning to the upcoming publication.
The left’s control of the book stores and publishing is being decimated monthly due to their arrogance and now the economic meltdown. I haven’t bought a book from a lefty books store for over a decade. I had no tears when two local left wing books stores closed their doors and a national outfit closed their local. They never carried conservative books and sometimes laughed when we asked for a Limbaugh or Thomas Sowell book.
Of course they treated her well, she's a paying customer. Amazon is strictly a pay-to-play deal.
