Amazon's Russ Grandinetti Tries to Brush Off Publishers' Concerns at Digital Book World Conference
VP of Kindle Content emphasizes partnership; talks subscription, Kindle Unlimited & Hachette contract dispute
Despite the concerns of both authors and publishers and obvious ambivalence about Amazon's significant influence over the book market, Grandinetti is eager to work with both parties. "I am hopeful and I want to focus as much as possible on how to grow the book business together."
Whether publishers are as eager to partner with and trust Amazon remains to be seen.
