Selling weapons to Iran is business as usual to some weapon traders. Blackmailing publishers is buisness as usual to others. Some people dont see harm in the first, some dont see harm in the second.
Yes, I exagerated.

I didnt say Amazon has a monopol - though they are using monopolistic tactics, I said that Amazon WANTS a monopol - and that is what I wanted to alert people of. Because the people now saying "I want to buy my books as cheap as possible no matter the cost" are short-sighted. Because it will cost them more in the long run.
Oh and btw: I dont use an Apple, I dont use Microsoft products, I dont buy at Starbucks or Wal-Mart or Home Depot (I dont even know what this is ), I dont buy Sony products (for the sake of their publishing market), etc

And none of Sony, HP, IBM, etc have the influence on the pc market that Amazon has on the book market.
