  in Amazon Consolidates Position in eBooks with Stanza Purchase
- I didn't know that Amazon bought Stanza. That's what I've been using as an ereader on my iPhone, and I really like it. Should I be happy about their acquisition by Amazon or scared?

The short answer I would give to your question: sexism. A little bit longer answer: It's not necessarily that men think women are less likely to be capable writers, though I'm sure there's a component of that. But there's also institutionalized sexism. I mean, what are the statistics on how many books that are published are by men versus by women? If there are fewer books by women to start with, that is probably due to ingrained, subtle forms of sexism. There's also the fact that people think women writers are more likely to write stuff that is appealing to women, but don't assume male writers are more suited to a male audience. Etc. etc. etc..
