Amazon UK Staying out of POD Fray (for now...)

Amid the furor over Amazon's latest maneuver with POD and Booksurge, comes word that Amazon.co.uk has "no plans" to bring Booksurge across the pond.

Then again, that statement shouldn't be as reassuring as it sounds to UK publishers:

An Amazon.co.uk spokesman said there were "no plans" to introduce the BookSurge service into the UK, but added: "We do not comment on future plans."
