During a opening remarks at the Fifth Annual America Booksellers Association's Winter Institute Program, a comment about Macmillan's stand against Amazon (AMZN) book prices elicited a standing ovation.

The ovation traveled around the Internet at the speed of Twitter as more readers, writers, and booksellers celebrated the gesture.
