It's like they think Amazon should run itself for *their* benefit, rather than for Amazon's profit.)

Sorry I left out Baen. Can't seem to figure if they are successful or not.
And people hating Amazon enough to forgo profit may possibly be a minority group.
I imagine most of us would like it if everyone ran things for our benefit. Today Amazon and all the book sellers, tomorrow the world.
