Amazon is concerned about their public image... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazon offers refunds for advertised books NEW YORK (AP) -- Accused of charging publishers for good reviews, the Internet bookseller Amazon.com offered refunds Tuesday for all books it has recommended and promised to tell customers when a publisher pays for a prominent display on its Web site. ``We did get expressions of concern by people who are very important to us, namely our customers,'' said Bill Curry, a spokesperson for the Seattle-based company, the world's largest on-line bookseller. He declined to say how many customers had responded, only that it was ``more than one.''
