N o small number of jaws hit the floor following the announcement that Amazon was taking over The Book Depository. As the UK’s biggest online bookseller with an international reach, The Book Depository had been one of Amazon’s primary rivals. With the rapid collapse of both independent bookstores and major bricks and mortar chains worldwide, readers are turning to the internet to get their book fix. How will Amazon’s gobbling up the competition change the way readers buy books? The major concern is the lack of detail as yet released to the public. It’s unclear how much money is changing hands, and there’s a risk that a restructured business model could eliminate the features that made The Book Depository so popular to begin with. Aiming at stocking 6 million titles, the company has been a major source of books that aren’t otherwise easily available. Coupled with its free shipping to more than countries, The Book Depository is an international winner, with three quarters of its sales outside the UK. Whether Amazon will preserve these features is anybody’s guess; Monday’s press release has next to no details. Why am I so suspicious? Well, with many other readers, I switched to using The Book Depository precisely to get away from Amazon. In , Amazon quietly removed a number of books classified as «adult material» from searches, suggestions and popularity charts, and stripped them of their sales rankings.

Books tagged «gay» or «sexuality», for instance, were affected by way of making the site more family friendly. The thing is, that explanation didn’t wash: children’s book Heather Has Two Mommies was deranked, but the Playboy Centrefold Collection was not. Amazon never made its value judgement explicit, but, regardless, the result was that lots of books with gay and feminist themes lost much of their visibility. Amazon told the Guardian this was due to a «glitch» in its system, but had replied to complainants that the de-ranking of some adult-material books was carried «in consideration of our entire customer base». In any case, the site was shortly flooded by users tagging books with «amazonfail». That wasn’t the only ethical mess Amazon got itself into, however. Also in , Amazon deleted a number of e-books with copyright issues from users’ Kindles, Amazon’s e-book reader. No one can fault Amazon’s protection of intellectual property rights. The problem, as particularly ironically highlighted in the deletion of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, was a little scarier than that. As Farhad Manjoo noted at Slate : «The worst thing about this story isn’t Amazon’s conduct; it’s the company’s technical capabilities.

Let me start out by saying that I waited a long time to do this. I am a firm believer in working things out using good faith and nice manners. It started last August, when I wanted to order everything on the Booker long list to read during my honeymoon. I ordered a few books from The Book Depository, which had a great selection and low prices. I went online to check my order status. Imagine my shock when I saw that the address my books were being shipped to was missing the entire line of the street address!

Nov 28, Elissa rated it liked it. My father gave this book to me for my 21st birthday. Mr Whittaker, fear not: I completely understand why it was a hit in its time and your basic principles still apply but many of the rules, products and legislation in it are now irrelevant.
