Amazon Incarnate: Bezos The Book Giant Is Planning A Store In Seattle
According to GoodEReader, Amazon is planning to open a retail store in Seattle this year where they will sell Amazon-exclusive books and, more importantly, Kindles of all kinds. While this looks to be more of a pop-up retail presence than a fully-fledged store, if I were in publishing I'd be circling the wagons right now.To be fair, Amazon's own publishing offerings are pretty wonky so far. There haven't been many runaway successes coming out of the house although Clay Shirkey and Tim Ferris will soon be bringing their own brand of publishing success and there are some interesting cross-cultural titles coming out. But that's not why publishing has to worry.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/hac1LV-Vc3Q/
