Personally I have a solution that works for me and I'm happy to work with them.
At this point in time, Amazon's dominance is not a problem for authors. In fact, some of us wouldn't be published without Amazon's very effective and efficient ability to garner sales/eyeballs. That is not to say that someday they may change the rules, but the rules in any business are ever-changing. It's always a race to get to the top of the hill--or at least maintain your position on the ledge on the way.
