Again, though, IANAL. However, if you really don't see the concern of booksellers making their own throw-a-few-dollars-at-cover-and-editing "publishing" arms to then grant their selling arm exclusive sale rights, then I can't convince you otherwise.

I look at it this way. eBooks are not an essential item needed for daily living. Therefore, IMO, monopoly laws are irrelevant. Publishers are free to do as they please.
