If the books go away, Amazon will post something on the website about the Big 6 and their collusion investigation and how interesting it is that all six publishers have decided not to negotiate new terms to their contracts. They will be able to point to DOJ documents and EU documents.
It is one thing when it is one Publisher but all 6 at the same time is just going to be a PR nightmare.
Amazon does not want to lose those books and those publishers do not want to lose Amazon. I am sure they will hash things out and there is not going to be a problem. I just have a feeling that Amazon is in a better negotiating position then the Big 6 at the moment.
