Some people want to abuse you. Some people want to be abused.
—Annie Lennox
And now Colin Robinson of OR Books reveals a little something more about Amazon’s relationships to publishers in yesterday’s Huffington Post. You’ll see a parallel here between Robinson’s approach to the Amazon monopoly and the growing indie publishing industry’s approach to traditional publishing. “We have a simple message for publishers being menaced [by Amazon] in this way: You are in an abusive relationship.”
It’s a very catchy line, and it’s getting some very catchy coverage. Almost as good as the coverage of OR’s book, Going Rouge: Sarah Palin—An American Nightmare.
I like this guy.
