“Amazon may change its advertising in 2012 and later years, and it would not serve the college store industry well if we were to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars litigating about advertisements that may no longer be used in the future,” said NACS President Danny Key in a statement.
“I like what Amazon’s doing in the audiobook space, especially as it involves me,” he wrote. “I think what it’s?doing to Hachette authors sucks, in no small part because it happened to me, a few years back, when Amazon had a similar fight with Macmillan. Amazon has helped my career; it’s also made it clear to me that it doesn’t give a s– about my career when its interests are elsewhere.

“Going to pre-empt the trolls here…analogy about titanic, Hindenberg, etc. followed by comment about low adoption of windows phone, then someone paid by MS will jump in and say something about the exciting future of windows phone, upset shareholder will say something about canning Ballmer, then mandatory comparison to Apple, ending with a snarky comment about how Android has more users than iOS.
