Author Claims Apple Won't Carry Her ebook Because It Mentions Amazon

Posted by samzenpus on from the not-in-our-store dept.

martiniturbide writes "Author Holly Lisle tried to publish her guide How To Think Sideways Lesson 6: How To Discover (Or Create) Your Story's Market at Apple's iBooks store. She says it was rejected first by Apple because it had 'live links' to Amazon. After she removed the links, it was rejected again because according to her: 'The problem is the CONTENT. You can't mention Amazon in your lesson.'"

    Precisely. And despite the howls of duplicative protests, I'll get away with it.
