Not really. We had the same sort of thing in England until some idiot decided competition would be good for the industry. Cue the closure of thousands of independent book shops and the rise of mega-books inc, one chain to rule them all.

I'm not sure what the plan is with ebooks though, that business is already tied up pretty tight between a handful of companies, so I would suspect that preservation of small businesses is not the motivation here.
