Amazon has wasted little time in filling a position that will be vacated by Larry Kirshbaum on January 17 when he steps down from his role as publisher of Amazon Publishing. Amazon Publishing editor-in-chief Daphne Durham has already assumed the responsibilities of publisher for Amazon's adult trade and children's publishing businesses, an Amazon spokesperson told Digital Book World. She will be based in Seattle.
