Amazon might not have a business in the copyright free world, mayhaps they are akin to the stationers company of yore? Amazon does provide a service, they get books into the hands of the public, with no copyright, this service would become extremely streamlined and highly competitive. As mentioned previously authors are going to want as close to 100% royalties as possible. I doubt Amazon will survive the shift into the new era.
A highly sophisticated lendle program with millions of members could very well take the place of Amazon.
As to your remarks concerning the idea that writers will no longer write with no copyright protection, that is simply untrue. Some might not write, but many still will. And perhaps the writings we do receive from these writers will be of a higher quality.
