Amazon! Stay out of the Woolsworth!

It seems like Amazon is backing off her publishing arms. For the past year and some change the giant company has been pumping up her own publishing houses, branching into almost every type of print house. However, she suffered a bit of a whack a mole when Barnes and Noble announced they would not be carrying any titles published by Amazon that they wouldn't allow up on the Nook.

Amazon has recently fired the fellow in charge of all this hoopla and has not yet to date been able to sign any major authors.

They are also probably finding out that publishing can be expensive endeavor. Who'da thunk it?
