At the end of an otherwise interesting article about Amazon.co.uk...
"Publish America, a print-on-demand book publisher in Frederick, Md., has not been so lucky, with the buy button vanishing on thousands of its titles, from “Drugstore Jesus” to “Demon Passing.” The company’s spokesman, Shawn Street, takes an optimistic view of the situation.
“There are plenty of other purchase icons,” Ms. Street said in an e-mail message, referring to the alternative of purchasing books through third-party booksellers on Amazon’s open marketplace. “In the wake of the controversy, we have discovered that our sales through Amazon.com have actually increased.”"

Isn't it fascinating to see PA given airtime as if they were Bloomsbury, and even the closing argument?
Does no one fact check such outlandish claims from notorious scammers?
