Topics on their plate this week:

The Guardian: Amazon vs Hachette: readers and authors take sides in publishing dispute

Bloomberg Businessweek: Axe Body Spray Isn’t Selling Crazy Sex Any More

The Atlantic: Axe Body Spray Isn’t Selling Crazy Sex Any More

Correction: This segment erroneously stated that no Hachette titles are available on Amazon or Kindle; some titles are available.
