Amazon.com Inc.’s dispute with Hachette Book Group is becoming more public by the week.
Tomorrow, a letter signed by more than 900 authors will be published in the New York Times, urging readers to contact Jeff Bezos, the Web store’s chief executive officer, to tell him what they think of the disagreement over the price of digital books. Amazon posted its own letter last night, asking readers instead to contact Hachette CEO Michael Pietsch.
