In May 2014, [[Amazon.com]] announced it was no longer taking pre-orders for Hachette books, stating a breakdown in negotiations over profit-sharing arrangements. According to Hachette, Amazon had also stopped discounting its books, sending prices of Hachette titles in the U.S. to more than twice what they were selling for in the UK. Amazon published a letter on August 10, 2014 asking authors and readers to email Hachette's CEO Michael Pietsch and ask for lower e-book prices. Pietsch reportedly replied to each message he received.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Bishop|first1=Todd|title=Hachette CEO replies to Amazon fans: 'These punitive actions are not necessary'|date=10 August 2014|url=https://www.geekwire.com/2014/hachette-ceo-replies-amazon-fans-punitive-actions-necessary/|publisher=GeekWire|access-date=11 August 2014|archive-date=April 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220403205323/https://www.geekwire.com/2014/hachette-ceo-replies-amazon-fans-punitive-actions-necessary/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In November 2014, Hachette announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase nonfiction publisher Black Dog & Leventhal. The sale was finalized in January 2015, and Black Dog & Leventhal became an imprint of the Hachette Books publishing division.

In June 2014, the company in conjunction with [[Ingram Content Group]], and [[Perseus Books Group]], announced a three-way deal whereby Hachette would buy Perseus and then sell that company's client services businesses to Ingram.

The sale was completed in April 2016, and the publishing business joined HBG as the Perseus Books publishing group.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/industry-deals/article/69543-hachette-agrees-to-buy-perseus-publishing-business.html | work=Publishers Weekly | first=Jim | last=Milliot | title=Hachette Agrees to Buy Perseus Publishing Business | date=6 March 2016 | access-date=September 22, 2017 | archive-date=September 23, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170923002641/https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/industry-deals/article/69543-hachette-agrees-to-buy-perseus-publishing-business.html | url-status=live }}</ref>

In April 2016, HBG announced an agreement to create a joint venture with the Yen Press imprint and Japanese publisher Kadokawa. Yen Press became known as Yen Press LLC, and is no longer considered an imprint of HBG's Orbit publishing division.

On September 17, 2018, Hachette acquired the Christian publisher Worthy Publishing.<ref>{{Cite news| first1 = Jim| last1 = Milliot| title = Hachette to Buy Worthy Publishing| work = PublishersWeekly| date = September 17, 2018| access-date = 2018-12-30| url = https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/religion/article/77753-hachette-to-buy-worthy-publishing.html| archive-date = December 30, 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181230181057/https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/religion/article/77753-hachette-to-buy-worthy-publishing.html| url-status = live}}</ref> This was followed by a reorganization in November, in which Worthy Publishing and [[FaithWords]] merged their teams under the Hachette Nashville division, and Hachette Books was moved under the Perseus Books division while taking the Da Capo Press staff and imprints. A total of 25 employees were leaving in the move, including Mauro DiPreta (Hachette Books' vice president and publisher) and John Radziewicz (Da Capo Press's vice president and publisher).

On June 1, 2020, Hachette was one of a group of publishers who [[Hachette v.
