AMAZON E-BOOK BUSINESS FACES ANTITRUST PROBE

Amazon is facing another antitrust investigation, this time from Connecticut over the e-commerce giant’s distribution of e-books.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong (D) said in a statement his office has “an active and ongoing antitrust investigation into Amazon regarding potentially anti competitive terms in their e-book distribution with publishers.”

“Our office continues to aggressively monitor this market to protect fair competition for consumers, authors, and other e-book retailers,” Tong said in the statement.
