Greg Greely, Vice President Amazon Worldwide Media Products, only. Audio Interview with Nigel Beale.
Self Publishers and Back lists win big with new Amazon services
During the recently attended BookExpo in Washington D.C. Amazon.com launched/promoted some extraordinary new sales/marketing/search/print-on-demand services for budding writers and existing publishers that will vastly expand the number of titles available to readers.

Rich indeed this bad breath from a boldly anonymous blogger who, in search of ‘good’ info on the future of the book from Book Expo just past, devotes considerable space to a Carly Fiorina session he/she didn’t attend, that patently did not deliver on its promise to do so. See May 18 post on this site.
Some critical judgement.
