No one in the industry has disputed it. No one has challenged Amazon's sales figures (when they have, in fact, released them) on specific titles like 1 million Stieg Larsson or 870,000 of 1.2 million James Patterson. So ... more than Amazon executives know the truth: so do the mainstream publishing houses.
You can debate Amazon's degree of leadership but surely there is no credible evidence or credible industry source saying Amazon is not way out ahead. Even sources like Forrester place Amazon 3 or 4 times ahead of Sony or B&N.
