They did that when Amazon decided to offer used books side-by-side with new ones on their site. So I don't think that dictating to the publishers is something that Amazon is afraid of.

As I've said before, what the publishers want is irrelevant. They have no place in the eBook market. Amazon's big enough that, if they someday get eBooks right, will dominate the market. If that happens, what the publishers want won't make any difference.

Something interesting: I've been reading mainly "unknown" authors lately and I'm finding them far better than the "best seller" authors.
