Amazon shutters LoveFilm, Amazon Wine, Heera and Anime Strike. Kicks ebooks out of AbeBooks. Will AbeBooks be next to go? - The New Publishing Standard

Panzer hardly made it into the Catosphere before the Panzermobile began being buffeted by crying and gnashing of teeth. Following all the noise took our fearsome kitty pilot to The New Publishing Standard site. With no digging at all he discovered a post about Amazon was causing all the trouble.

Really, it's not that bad.
According to the post by Mark Williams, Amazon has been doing some reshuffling and closing of certain small divisions of the company. Heera and Anime Strike have been moved into the Amazon Prime package. LoveFilm and Amazon Wine have been closed down. The AbeBooks division will no longer carry ebooks. While Amazon has made no announcement about AbeBooks, the post speculates the removal of ebooks may be a harbinger of AbeBooks demise.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Pay attention to the details, not just the headline."

Note: This is medium post. Bring a cup of tea, one muffin and one peanut butter cookie (biscuit) for today's reading selections.
