Maine Publisher Sues Amazon Over POD Policy

BookLocker.com, a print-on-demand publisher located in Bangor, Maine, is suing Amazon.com over its decision to use one on-demand printer—its BookSurge subsidiary—exclusively for transactions sold and shipped from Amazon, the Associated Press reported earlier this week. The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, seeks an injunction preventing Amazon from implementing its new policy, as well as monetary damages and legal fees, according to the report.
