The booksellers’ cooperative eBook throws the “time” support from Amazon before. Do not go for the first time booksellers against supposed allies from Amazon and not make it the best figure.

The eBook-CEO Michael Pohl described the advertising campaign as “embarrassing discrepancy between words and deeds”: After the Amazon critical “time” article “The decisive battle” should have been followed not support Amazon.
