When PW contacted Amazon about the conversation, a spokesperson for the company said: You have to look at the parent company--Lagardère Group--rather than just the Hachette division. Kindle books are only 1% of Lagardère Groups sales. They can afford it, and should stop using their authors as human shields. Two notable elements here: 1. Amazon has adopted the language of military propaganda. 2. In doing so, Amazon admits implicitly that it considers itself to a. be at war with Hachette and b. to be the larger more powerful antagonist in an asymmetrical battle.
