Waterstones is not the only book retailer in the UK, just probably the best range, W H Smiths (a chain with outlets in every city, most towns etc.) has somewhat lost its way but is still a bookstore, there are still quite a few independents, a couple of towns devoted to selling books and (for the bestsellers) most supermarket chains... not exactly a monopoly... Being dominant does not equal a monopoly!

What is your analysis of the situation in the book selling business?
