Amazon keeps HarperCollins titles on its digital store shelves

From CNET: Book publisher HarperCollins and Amazon have inked a deal that will keep the company's books on the e-retail giant's digital store shelves.

A HarperCollins spokeswoman confirmed to CNET on Tuesday that it has "reached an agreement with Amazon and our books will continue to be available on the Amazon print and digital platforms." The spokeswoman did not disclose the terms of the deal, but it ends a standoff between the companies that could have resulted in HarperCollins titles being removed from Amazon.com and the company's Kindle e-book store.

Amazon declined to comment on the agreement.

Amazon has found itself in a war with book publishers that have grown increasingly concerned over the company's dominance in offering books and e-books to customers. The book publishers are specifically worried that Amazon's popularity gives it too much control over the contract negotiations with publishers.
