What will happen is that the agency model contracts will be renegotiated-something that happens frequently in business. Instead of the division being publisher 70/Amazon 30 , the split will end up something like publisher 60/Amazon20/Apple 20 . Remember, Amazon used to take 70 to publishers 30 prior to last year. That's what the negotiations will be about- a readjustment of who gets what percentage.
I must say, I'm rather touched by your solicitude for Amazon-a big company with an army of lawyers at their command. Trust me, the publishers and the booksellers will take care of themselves.
