What's the worst thing Amazon is doing lately?
- Instead of the option to pre-order, certain major titles from the Hachette Book Group are listed as "currently unavailable".
- Holding books and authors hostage by delaying shipments and raising prices in order to negotiate higher payments from publishers.
- Suggesting to prospective customers that they buy other cheaper books instead of the Hachette one you are looking at.
- This is all sounding like a Hachette job!
- Hey, Amazon isn't doing anything I wouldn't do if I was an anticompetitive, monopolistic behemoth, run by a ruthless, egotistical, control freak.

| About us... |
The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.
We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech is now in its 12th year. We're very proud to be featured regularly on places like re/code, and Folha in Brazil, and Mashable!
You can follow us on Twitter @Nitrozac and @Snaggy, or on Google+ at +Nitrozac JoT and +Snaggy JoT.
We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
