Only
time will tell what all of this means to authors and readers, but two major
events happened this week.
B&H recently made the decision to shut down its fiction line, and now Summerside Press is closing. Summerside published the very popular "Love
Finds You" and "American Tapestry" series. Literary agent Steve
Laube does an excellent job at explaining how this happened.
"Summerside
Press Shuts Down"

And
secondly, the Department of Justice just passed down this ruling a couple of
hours ago:
"Judge
says Apple conspired to raise prices on e-books"
