PSA: Behind the Curtain at Amazon

As a bookseller at a bricks-and-mortar community bookstore and a "localvore" in general, I am hugely biased when it comes to the question of Amazon.com and its business practices. But even from a journalistic viewpoint, Amazon is not the civic-minded giant that it pretends to be. The Seattle Times (which is Seattle, Washington's most prominent newspaper and is located in Amazon's hometown) did some digging into Amazon and came up with the following four-part series, which I hope that you as a consumer will take the time to read.

Again, on behalf of myself and booksellers everywhere, thank you for supporting your small community bookstores.
