Amazon Revolutionizes Book Publishing
Mansur Hasib
The publishing world has long been controlled by powerful companies with high costs, barriers to access, restrictions on distribution, one-sided copyright ownership contracts, and lengthy delays in getting critical information and knowledge out to a broad audience.
