Amazon now censoring “The Art of War” worldwide
December 14th, 2009
I’m
getting these from
all around Jeff Bezos’s personal planet
now. For a book which I wrote and to which I own the
copyright and which they previously approved and sold.
If you’d like to complain to Amazon, try here.
If you’d like to complain
to Barack Obama,
People
have been asking me
what Amazon’s explanation for this is.
There isn’t one, and that’s very curious. You know
how big they are on customer service, how Bezos says “we’re
not selling books or CDs or lawnmowers, we’re selling customer service”?
Well, they’re doubly oriented that way when you’re a content provider, content
being most of what they sell. Publish a Kindle boook, and they give you a
fast channel for communicating with them. They answer the emails
in a hurry. Cover doesn’t look right on the linked page?
Someone having trouble with a download?
Presto! Response.
And
they respond when
I write them about censoring my
book, too. They acknowledge
getting the email.
That’s it.
