While not universal, there's definite animosity toward the Seattle-based e-tailer in the biz. To wit: During VP of Kindle Content Russ Grandinetti's address to the Digital Book World conference in January, the trade show chatter on Twitter took a decided turn for the snarky.
To some in the book publishing biz, Amazon's name may as well be Voldemort. But whether you call it the elephant in the room, the 800-pound gorilla or he who must not be named, the fact of the matter is, where books, e-books and, increasingly, e-readers are concerned, the e-tail behemoth seems to do whatever it damn well pleases—to the clamorous chagrin of an industry that, well, had been quite happy doing things the way it pleased for a good long time.
