What Does Amazon's Current Initiative Mean To Independant POD Authors?

That is the question I've been asking myself.. and of Lulu.com's live chat support folks.

So.. What Am I Signing Away Today?

That is something I wonder about, each time I sign an NDA agreement, hiring contract, purchase order, package receipt, or sales receipt. Just... what am I signing up for... and what rights am I signing away?

Like many folks, I typically will give something a good long read and try my best to make heads or tails of it. And, like most folks, I will derive a very simplistic understanding of the written agreement and go with it.
