Is Amazon Good, Or Evil? A Debate

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 15, 2015

The Hachette dispute is settled and Amazon is mostly in the news for its television programming, but concerns over publishing and ebooks persist. In a debate tonight, Intelligence Squared asks: Is Amazon the reader's friend? 

Scott Turow, an attorney and author, argues against the motion. Joe Konrath, author and self-publishing pioneer, argues for it. 

Plus: take our poll! We'll see if audience opinion changes over the course of the debate.
