He doesn't say it would get less competitive... in my opinion
it is not competitive enough over the whole price range...as long as the "reputable" companies can milk the top-shelf-buyers without real competion, they are more than welcome! I would do that
And as long as almost every bored housewife worldwide with their Christmas-Kindle is happy to BUY their soap opera book on amazon instead of learning how to simply use google search to find the same books for free, Amazon is happy too!
