So tell us how you feel about all this?
Look, I use Amazon Prime because I live in the boonies. I read books via Amazon Kindle. I’m even moderate about DRM packaging (I’d prefer not to have it on my books, but as long as it doesn’t get in my way too much I’ll tolerate it).
But this looks to be very dickish, and using your size as a prime negotiating tool to play hardball. Again, Amazon has built themselves up to the size, so they have the right to use their size. It’s just business, you know? But so is my then saying, I will now be dropping all Amazon.com links from my website.
I will no longer be doing any business with them. This includes renting from video on demand, buying books both print and Kindle, as well as buying various goods. I will not use them for payments either.
Because I’ve entrusted my traffic and customers with them over the years, I do expect a slight bit of reciprocity. I don’t like to do business with people who, apparently as far as I can tell, think sucker punching you when they disagree, even if they have the right to do it, is the way to go about this.
