I went to bed knowing there was an issue after seeing it posted on Scalzi’s blog, and having a fan question where the WoT books went on Twitter. But, really, I thought it was a technical glitch with bad timing. I emailed someone at work an fyi and left it at that. This morning I woke up to this:

I’m going to second what Patrick said on Making Light:
Tor is part of Macmillan, but I have no more idea what’s actually going on than you do. And yes, I’m not thrilled with that fact.
And now I have a headache. Oof. So, I’ll leave you with this:

Update: CEO John Sargent has issued a statement.
Tobias Buckell has an interesting post up on SFWA.
Update: Amazon Concedes on Electronic Book Pricing
And some great posts from Scazli and Westerfeld.
