I think I'm with =X= here. It is Amazon's private store. They don't have to sell or promote anything they don't want to do they? They are free to make deals with any publisher or not. Likewise the publshers can make deals with other retailers. Mabye Amazon is the current leader but that doesn't mean there aren't other retailers or that they will be number one forever. If they alienate all the publishers were will they be? For ebooks publishers don't even need retailers if they don't want them. Or they could give better deals to Amazon's competition. There are options besides just Amazon.
