Amazon was subsidizing the ebooks they sold. That's the ENTIRE controversy. The publishers put a stop to Amazon selling books below cost.
People are angry because they LIKED Amazon subsidizing their reading habits. They could care less about book sellers having to compete against Amazon's ability to lose money. They won't look forward to what the future would hold with Amazon as a true monopoly.
They liked to suckle at Amazon's tit, and that IS indeed the controversy.
