Amazon Versus Publishing: Viewpoints

I discussed the perceived battle between Amazon and the publishing industry last week. (Scroll down or use this direct link: Publishers Versus Amazon: An Escalating War.) For more commentary, check out this post by Joe Konrath, where he ruthlessly attacks the anti-Amazon arguments of Authors Guild President Scott Turow.

Here's the link to the original interview with Turow in Salon.com, explaining why we should fear Amazon.
(Disclosure: I am a member of the Authors Guild and appreciate their services. I have also been highly impressed by Konrath's blog. Be warned that he often swears, though I don't think there's any in this post)
