Across the board, Amazon are pitching prices on Amazon.co.uk just under the lowest paper price - as per the Guardian article that I linked to in another thread. I don't think that Amazon will suddenly change this once everyone buys a Kindle - is that what being "played" meant?

That kind of behaviour isn't what they're known for, and in the long run (which is the game Amazon plays), it would lose them a lot of customers.
