Palm Station Post about Peanut Press continue:
I got email from Peter Fry from Palm Digital Media Group explaining:
1. Barton Gellman sent us the complaint e-mail at 9:25 PM at night. By 11:11 PM that same night our president (peanutpress's former president, obviously not Carl Yankowski :) ) had sent a personal reply back to him. In that time he had posted to Palm Station, and he then posted a pretty much full retraction once he noticed it went up on Palm Station a few days later.
2. The short answer is that publishers don't always notify us when books go to paperback, and so when we notice these discrepencies, we contact the publisher and ususally have the price rectified in the course of a day or two. We sometimes find out by customers telling us that we've screwed up. So, yes, we do make mistakes occassionally. Publicly crucifying us without even giving us a chance to reply is pretty rude.
3. Name another company that the president is checking the general e-mail bin in the middle of the night and personally replies. There aren't too many. As for having to charge hardback prices when the paperback is out, there is *one* publisher that demands that, and that's really beyond our control.
Well, former CEO of Peanut Press (Who's his name?), yes there is rare nowadays to have a CEO like him. One thing for sure is You are no Jeff 'Bozos' Blackburn of Amazon (who doesn't see, doesn't hear and doesn't talk to customers' complains).
