Kevin Hillstrom: MineThatData: I Didn't Get This Message From Amazon

I Didn't Get This Message From Amazon

I wrote books that were self-published on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Barnes & Noble sent me this message.

Did I get a comparable message from Amazon?

Nope. They've got enough paper for me.

Next time your paper rep talks about "unprecedented times", ask your paper rep why Amazon gets paper for catalogs and gets paper for books but "legacy brands" like Barnes & Noble (and you) are facing "unprecedented times"?
