Title: [Article] Amazon-owned AbeBooks cutting off booksellers from certain countries
Post by: CoraBuhlert on November 05, 2018, 02:16:13 PM

I just came across this article on the New York Times that AbeBooks, which is owned by Amazon, has abruptly decided to no longer list books from booksellers in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and South Korea. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/04/technology/abebooks-amazon-protest-booksellers.html) In response, antiquarian booksellers from all over the world have launched a one week boycott.
