Amazon’s new high-end e-reader, the Kindle Voyage, starts at $199 but has fancy page turns
Remember all that speculation that Amazon would one day start giving away Kindle e-readers for free?

In fact, in a somewhat bizarre turn of events for a group that is supposedly protesting Amazon’s methods — the refusal to allow advance orders of Hachette books, the removal of some books from the search index, and so on — Authors United makes an odd admission: it agrees Amazon “has every right to refuse to sell consumer goods in response to a pricing disagreement with a wholesaler.”
