Perhaps my previous post was poorly worded. For some, Amazon's contracts effectively mean they could be put out of business or lose their main source of income without notice. I think Amazon's growing dominance does present a problem for self-published authors and other small businesses because of this.
Personally I have a solution that works for me and I'm happy to work with them.
