Shelf Awareness
Yesterday, "in an unprecedented joint action," U.S. booksellers, authors and literary agents called upon the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Amazon's business practices, Bookselling This Week reported. In a letter delivered to the Justice Department, Authors United requested that "the Antitrust Division investigate Amazon's power over the book market, and the ways in which that corporation exercises its power, bearing in mind the very special constitutional sensitivities that have historically been applied to any business that has established effective control of a medium of communication."
