Hi folks:

This is my first post, so I hope I am doing it right.

Anyway, Amazon.com has recently changed its policy on corporate 
accounts, apparently they have abolished all corporate accounts and gone 
to a system whereby there are only (so-called) personal accounts. The 
new system limits access to one individual, at least for 
administrative/management purposes, and this is impacting the way we 
order books and manage our book buying process.

Can anyone explain this change, the rationale, the implications, etc. 
And also, what are you doing to continue to carry out business as usual?

Thanks in advance.
