Amazon’s Offense
Blog / Produced by The High Calling
David Wheeler is an independent, brick and mortar, bookseller. The High Calling loves books and people like David who sell them. But two or three clicks on the screen in front of me allows Amazon to promise easy, available and cheap.
There is so much to like about these three words. David, however, argues that there is a price to pay. He writes,
"It has never been a small irony to me that Amazon chose an Orwellian name like Kindle and Kindle Fire for their e-reader, as they continue to set fire to booksellers, publishers, and writers alike..."
In a season when we're looking for deals, David's timely message pulls no punches. Read his call at Amazon's Offense and then join him in a very practical way tomorrow, December 10.
