by 2010 the rift between book publishers and amazon. com over the price of e-books had grown. the publishing company macmillan books threatened to pull its e-books from amazon. com, which retaliated by removing all macmillan books, both printed and electronic, from the site. however, within weeks, amazon. com capitulated and allowed macmillan and other publishers to set prices of e-books.
in 2009 the company introduced its first publishing line, amazonencore, dedicated to popular self-published and out-of-print books. it also let individuals publish their own e-books. in 2011 its e-book ambitions led to the launch of amazon publishing with the intent to develop and publish its own titles. that year amazon. com announced that kindle e-books were outselling all printed books. while many book publishers continue to derive significant revenue through sales at amazon. com, the company is no longer considered by publishers merely as another bookseller. it is now also a major competitor in their industry.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
