The moment Amazon even *thinks* of gouging customers, a dozen sharks will jump into the game. Their entire business is about selling cheap ebooks; the moment they stop being the place for cheap ebooks, they stop having an ebook business.
(Look at Paypal's little reversal on censorship. The moment they annoyed consumers, accounts started closing in droves.)

Hey, if you are right on that, then why worry about publisher "price fixing" cartels? That's SOO 19th century! Obviously, there's no need for government intervention there, right? And no need for an open Internet policy,either, because we can trust Comcast and the cable companies not to throttle the competition. As for those consumer-friendly mobile carriers....
