Okay...stop me if you've heard this one...

How about boycotting Amazon?

Hear me out on this:

The agency-pricing thing didn't work out. Too much money involved. Amazon is huge, so it's definitely a Davey-and-Goliath thing. But once it gets in the press that Amazon is carrying this thing, it won't be hard to get some heavy artillery mobilized and help Amazon see the error of their ways; when you're talking about something like this, it's not just a few disgruntled ebook customers anymore.

We know it's about money. They know it's about money. As long as Amazon thinks they stand to lose more than they gain from this, we can make the right thing happen. Ask Shel, I'm by no means an optimist or a pipe-dreamer, but I do think it's feasible.
