Amazon U.K. Institutional Journal Subscriptions

["Masterson, Michele" <Michele_Masterson@simbanet.com>]

I am writing an article concerning the recent contentions between Amazon 
U.K. and STM publishers in the U.K., including OUP, as well as the Council 
of Academic & Professional Publishers.

For background, see article from Information World Review:

Amazon in journals subscription row
Online retailer mis-represents cost of journal subscriptions according 
to publishers
http://www.iwr.co.uk/information-world-review/news/2147856/amazon-journals-subscription

Are there any other STM publishers, either in the States or abroad who 
were involved in pressuring Amazon U.K. to change their wording so that 
subscribers are now encouraged to take out institutional subscriptions 
rather than on an individual basis, as Amazon U.K. had previously 
promoted?

Does anyone know if this was also the case in the States?

I am on deadline, so I appreciate any immediate comments.
