No one has mentioned another group of folks. If the Agency 6 decided to set up their own co-op website and refuse Amazon access to the titles, I kinda suspect James Patterson, Nora Roberts, JK Rowling, Danielle Steele, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, John Grisham and, one or two other somewhat well-known authors, might voice some "concerns" at being removed from Amazon.
Amazon will be a dominant player for some time to come; but they aren't the only distribution point. Publishers and agents and authors will sort something out ... but it's unlikely to exclude Amazon.
