Apparently Amazon didn't think some things through

real well.
Due to Amazon.com’s removal of many of our authors’ books from its ordering system, we are removing Amazon.com links from our website. Our authors depend on people buying their books and since a significant percentage of them publish through Macmillan or its subsidiaries, we would prefer to send traffic to stores where the books can actually be purchased.

To that end, our volunteers are in the process of redirecting book links to indiebound.org, Powell’s, Barnes and Noble, and Borders

And I'm sure Amazon will miss those orders from both people who look at the SFWA website to order books...

True, probably not a lot; it still seems a bad idea to piss off so many authors.
