It's all about eee-vile amazon?

Why should stonetools, the publishers' spokesperson here, think it is a cartel issue? Sure, they had to do something against Amazon (from their point of view), but having a big family meeting to raise prices wasn't the right path to take. Now they have to try to weasel out, and the strategy is to scare the feds with the "Amazon will be a monopoly" scenario.
