  1. The key clause here being “available to romance fans around the world”.

    Q: What do you do when your suppliers refuse to allow you to sell products your customers want?

    A: Kick your suppliers to the curb and go into production for yourself.

  2. Agreed Peter, I think it’s fabulous news for authors and readers everywhere. Amazon is capitalizing on removing artificial restrictions on geographic regions, price, and production. Good for them and for us.
