I heard through the grapevine that books published by Macmillan – the parent company of St. Martin’s Press and TOR, among others – had been removed from Amazon.com. Sure enough, my TOR titles (FALLEN and GUARDIAN) are still listed there, but the books are available from third party vendors.
Isn’t that weird?
It’s especially odd as TOR had offered a Kindle version of GUARDIAN.
I wonder what’s going on…?

Read Scalzi’s blog: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/01/30/a-quick-note-on-ebook-pricing/ for what he says is going on. There’s a lively discussion in the comments (that I only scanned).

Thanks Gina.
I found more after I posted. It’ll be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
How difficult for authors with on sale dates this Tuesday, though.

Ah Gina, I think this is more likely to be the root cause.
It was referred to in one of the comments on the blog link you posted.
