How is Amazon more predatory than Walmart? Just because someone sees a new way of doing things and is successful, and all the mom and pop stores/bookstores had to adapt, that is predatory? The antitrust laws say something is predatory when you price something so low you know it will drive the competition out of business. Now, if $9.99 was shown to be impossible to sustain, even taking into account the ereaders (remember, they started at $400) and all of the non-bestsellers people bought.
It is hilarious that the publishers are crying predatory, when they are under investigation for price fixing! I guess that is the opposite of price fixing.
