But it makes no sense. If we assume that the publishers thought that Amazon would just sell the ebooks at HC price range, and they were wrong, they have no moral or legal leg to stand on. And the solution was simple, and comes with two options: charge Amazon more for ebooks or give the ebooks for sale later than the HC. And that doesn't mean cut off supplies.
