We announced the Amazon Settlement to our BookLocker authors this morning. Below are just a few of their responses.

~~~~~

Angela, great work backing Amazon down. One of the reasons I am so proud to be with BookLocker is the integrity that you demonstrate at every turn.

It's hard to find individuals to trust these days, much less companies. My heartfelt gratitude for you and all your hard work.

Thank you!

Way to go Ang!!!

Thank you and Richard for caring enough to go to battle, not just for BookLocker, but for all of your authors. It's obviously been a tough battle but you didn't back down. Today you must feel a bit like David when he took a second look at what his little sling had accomplished.

Sincerely,

Bravo! How brave and generous of you to undertake a David and Goliath battle against Amazon! I'm proud to be a BookLocker author.

Dear Angela,

CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so glad for all of us. I will speak this victory loud and clear, once I get my media megaphone! Congratulations again.

I am most impressed that you have acted upon principle, rather than expediency. This is so rare! And a victory over a giant corporation is even rarer.

Angie,

New England grit! I'm proud to know you--and to read what you accomplished.

Two words will say it all. "Yeah, you!"

Angela,

Congratulations!

The innovative startup grows up to be the bully, just like Microsoft. They never seem to learn that what they gain by forcing others out is dwarfed by what they lose from badwill.

I'm proud to be associated with a publisher willing to risk telling a bully it is wrong.

Congratulations Angie! All indy authors owe you a big debt of gratitude. Or at least a hug.

Sincerely,
