The publishers pushed back on Amazon when Amazon wanted to sell all books at 9.99 even if it had to buy the book from the publisher for more than that.

Will the publishers push back now and say, you can't sell our books if you are our competition.

I mean will they challenge Amazon with a "let's get it on!"
