Hachette Book Group defended itself Sunday against accusations of pushing up prices for ebooks amid a simmering dispute with online retail giant Amazon .
"Hachette sets prices for our books entirely on our own, not in collusion with anyone," the American head of the publishing group, Michael Pietsch, wrote in a letter to readers shared with AFP.
The letter will be sent to anyone who emails Pietsch, Hachette said, after Pietsch's email address was published by Amazon, in a bid to pressure the publishing company over the price battle.
Amazon's move came after more than 900 authors signed a letter urging the US online giant to end its battle with Hachette.
