I don't want to cry wolf, but

...I check every week Amazon for the release of new print books, so I can see if there is something new.

Usually I do the following research

Advanced Search with the following filters
Publisher:
Format: "printed books"
Sort Results by: "publication date"

this week doing the same exact research as every week I didn't find my usual result for the following publisher:

Amber Quill Press (24 books available, most recent book Nov 22, 2006)



Loose Id (4 books available)



P.D. Publishing (1 book available)



Torquere (no books available)



I believe there is something not right in the search filter, if I search for the single books (I did two/three test), I find them.

All the other publishers I use to check (MLR Press, Phaze, ...) are all right.

I think it could have to with they are mainly ebook publishers. And Amazon is pushing Kindle - they are not very keen to promote other ebook publishers, I suppose.

I get most ebooks directly from publishers, if not, then fictionwise. I do think Amazon intentionally wants to have Kindle ebooks (mostly) on their site.

Yes it can be a reason, but P.D. Publishing? It's only a print books publisher... there is fire in Denmark...
