On the Amazon, the prophylactics prowl. On the Amazon, the hypodermics howl.
Here's the letter my darling ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
aquila_dominus wrote to Amazon today once word of LGBTfail broke across my flist.
He had to write it, because I couldn't stop foaming at the mouth long enough to put together a coherent sentence. Also? Because he's a really nice guy, and likes to stand up for folks being treated unfairly, even if he doesn't share in a piece of that discrimination.
I'm willing to wait and see what Amazon's PTB do in response to the shitstorm they've started once it comes home to roost in their laps, but it doesn't hurt that there are at least two small, locally owned booksellers who would be MORE than happy to order me the entire list of books I'm going to be replacing for my damaged library. Also? I put the whole insurance payout onto my Amazon visa, so the replacements are being charged on that card, and that means Amazon will be sending me MORE free books on their own dime when all this is over. Whether they MAKE any money off me or not really depends on them.
