    Are there any updates on this case? I first learned of Amazon’s monopolistic action this past March (2009) & have been periodically checking to see what’s happened with the case.

    Regardless of outcome, I will not use BookSurge for my POD plans, even if it means I can’t sell on Amazon — just because of the wrongness of their action. I hope you win, but I know that the courts are pretty corruptible these days when it comes to granting special rights to big business.

    We are currently waiting for the judge to make a ruling and this could take days, weeks, or months.

    It is beyond me why a company that was blossoming in so many ways would attack it’s very core. Greed does strange things.
