Sounds like a load of BS. Even, big IF, this is to benefit the customers, this sounds a lot like, "I will force something down your throat even if you don't want it, because it is for your own good" type of thing. Shouldn't authors/customers be allowed to select if they want slower or faster service depending on how much they're willing to pay? And why did they promise to deliver in two days and then say they can't and if we want it faster, we better pay more?
I could be getting a wrong angle on this but it sounds like the suposedly improved service will cost more. It's sort of an analogy - last time I ordered through the internet, there were various boxes about the method of transportation; fast such as air is more expensive than lets say a train. Isn't this similar to crossing out the train boxes and leaving the most expensive option only? Who exactly does this benefit except amazon and why are my choices getting taken away from me? =P
