		<description><![CDATA[As many of you probably remember, in March, 2008, an Amazon / BookSurge representative called us on the phone and told us we (and other Print on Demand publishers) must start paying Amazon to print our books. If we didn&#8217;t, they would remove our &#8220;buy it now&#8221; buttons from Amazon.com.

Amazon has lauched a POD service in the U.K. While they say &#8220;We are offering titles that are being produced by other print on demand providers&#8221;&#8230;they don&#8217;t say they&#8217;ll continue to do so.

Amazon.com&#8217;s CEO, Jeff Bezos, immediately took a defiant approach: [...]]]></description>
