I have won the battle, but not the war. Back into our damned #Ingram account - just no idea why it got deleted/reset/whatever they did in the first place. But it’s a win and I’m taking it.

Still screaming at #Ingram to restore the Queen of Swords Press account login, which they nuked last week, but if you order our books from Bookshop, etc., that should still be okay (we get payments and invoices). We just can’t order books…right before some of our biggest sales events of the year and the holiday shopping season. 😱😱😱

#Ingram : sends out a mass email telling folks they need 40% wholesale costs or they'll remove books from US distro the DAY it goes into affect.

Also #Ingram : whoops, sorry! This is still happening but we think you're upset about not being able to change your prices! That feature is fixed now uwu

No. No that's not why we're upset.

Damn, apparently you gotta have #Ingram manually take down your books.

I know this probably seems excessive, but there is a point where there's no point in having physical copies distributed when they don't make returns in any capacity & if I'm not making anything then I'm also not letting Ingram take the lion's share for my work.

A corollary to the #Ingram v #Alberta legal decision yesterday. The claimants made much (uninformed comment) about the #costs of #pandemic restrictions. Nothing about the order of magnitude larger costs of the actual pandemic. https://mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/110832363333129319

Excellent review of the #Ingram v #Alberta decision courtesy of @Lorian Far easier (and wiser) read than my thread of quotes from the decision.

“Much anticipated decision in Ingram v Alberta (#CMOH) is out! This case addresses the legality of covid public health orders. A summary and some thoughts...” #Publichealth #pandemic #covid

Hay cosas de takatakalandia que me gustaría ver.

Poquitas, no justifican la inversión de un viaje pa'sha.

A lo mejor lo reconsidero en 5 años.

Too bad the bookseller is such a rube, I like their MAC-10 pistol. Great for squirrels.

It’s all about the money 🔥

“internally, the messages in #Dominion’s filing suggest that network officials  knew they were exercising editorial judgment that would lead their audience to see the fictitious election-fraud allegations not simply as newsworthy, but legitimate, which they properly understood to be irresponsible.”

2016: "Although the #Ingram name is little known to the public, the family wields pervasive influence behind the scenes. A huge chunk of the most popular products of the Information Age--desktop computers, software, CD-ROMs, videos, video games, and that old standby, #books--pass through an Ingram warehouse on their journey to market.

Distribution has become far more competitive and innovative in recent years with the rise of superretailers and new shopping venues such as the Internet. No one has mastered the nuances better than the Ingrams, whose relentless perfectionism has allowed them to dominate almost every niche they occupy. Ingram Micro Inc. is the largest distributor of microcomputer products, with a 28% share of the U.S. market; Ingram Book Group handles about two-thirds of the books that wend their way through wholesalers to bookstores. In the emerging online book business, Ingram commands an even greater share; Ingram Entertainment Inc. ships one-third of all home videos." [1]

"In its first year, 1970, the Ingram Book Co. had sales of $1 million and employed 18 people, but by 2020, its successor, the #IngramContentGroup, had revenue topping $2 billion." [2]
