During that building period, Amazon would strike back and bankrupt the newly emerging company, return to its high prices while preparing a battle plan for the next startup that seeks to challenge it.

To blithely say that someone will come in and battle Amazon once Amazon has a monopoly is to ignore the realities of business creation. The only way any competitor would have a chance at survival would be if the Department of Justice brought Amazon to its knees as it did with Microsoft and IBM.
I agree with you as far as pbooks go but not ebooks.
