Apple's Hard Core

TECHNO THRILLS                               Apple won't carry an ebook because it mentions Amazon “ Author Holly Lisle has a series of online writing guides that she sells. One volume of this, "How To Think Sideways Lesson 6: How To Discover (Or Create) Your Story’s Market" was rejected by Apple's iBooks store. At first, Apple told Lisle that she wasn't allowed to have "live links" to Amazon in her books. So she removed the links and resubmitted the book, and then Apple rejected it again, telling her that they wouldn't sell her book because it mentioned Amazon, a competitor of its iBooks store. [Full] LOL.  I spent my life in sales and marketing.  If you were a competitor I hated your guts, made war on you, and excluded you from my Christmas parties.  So. I understand; and it is what  Francis Urquhart would do. ”
