A friend of mine was selling her second hand paperbacks on amazon. Not only were the publishers and authors making no money out of that, by the time amazon took their chunk out of the ‘post-and-packing’ fee she found that there wasn’t always enough to cover her actual postage costs, so it was cutting into the price she’d charged for the book … in other words, a lot of work for just a few paltry pennies.

It’s a shame … amazon started out as such a good idea, and such a useful service, and now they’re just degenerating into another greedy corporate monster. :
