????亞馬遜對陣邦尼集團

????阿歇特并不是唯一一家被亞馬遜惹怒的圖書出版公司。本周，瑞典傳媒公司邦尼集團（Bonnier Group）旗下的1,000余名作者（其中還有著名的諾貝爾文學獎得主艾爾弗雷德?耶利內克）共同簽署了一封公開信，指控亞馬遜公司為操縱其網站的推薦榜單，謊報圖書庫存情況，以及拖延消費者的圖書訂單出貨時間，而這一切都是為了向這家瑞典出版商索要更多的折扣。

????“目前為止，亞馬遜的客戶依然覺得這些推薦列表并沒有受到人為操縱，也覺得可以信任亞馬遜，”公開信中寫道，“不過實情顯然不是這樣的。”

????這場明爭暗斗開始于今年5月，當時這些作者們頭一次注意到他們的作品被亞馬遜推遲銷售，這才促使邦尼集團對外披露正在與亞馬遜進行談判的事情。

????Amazon vs. Bonnier

????Hachette isn’t the only book publisher to feel Amazon’s wrath. This week, more than 1,000 writers under the Sweden-based Bonnier Group (including noted Noble Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek) signed an open letter to Amazon accusing the company of manipulating its online recommendation lists, lying about the availability of books and delaying the shipment of customers’ orders, all as a way to negotiate bigger discounts with the Sweden-based publisher.

????“Amazon’s customers have, until now, had the impression that these lists are not manipulated and they could trust Amazon,” reads the letter. “Apparently that is not the case.”

????The battle began in May when the authors first noticed delays in the availability of their works, prompting Bonnier to reveal that it was in the midst of negotiations with Amazon.
