Publisher Macmillan's books pulled from Amazon.com in pricing dispute

New copies of Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall," Andrew Young's "The Politician" and other books published by Macmillan were unavailable Saturday on Amazon.com, a drastic step in the ongoing dispute over e-book prices.

My comment: I'm with Macmillan. I don't understand how publishers can be expected to stay in business by charging below-market rates for their electronic content (books). The Web is killing magazines and newspapers. I'd hate to see a close approximation (the e-book) kill the book industry.
