Charlie Stross analyses the Amazon Macmillan fight

[julesjones]

I linked to a short draft of this yesterday, but Charlie has now posted the expanded version of Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider's guide to the fight. This is really worth your time to read, if you want to understand what's been going on in the lead-up to this weekend's uproar, and why Amazon is *not* working in the long-term best interest of readers.

Charlie also has a link round-up of other useful posts on the Amazon Macmillan stare-down.
