However, it's screamingly obvious to everyone in the industry that if Amazon is allowed to freely set prices, then they will undercut everyone and re-establish a monopoly on ebooks.

Wouldn't they have to have
had a monopoly before they can
re-establish one? And couldn't the same sort of legal proceedings then be used to reign Amazon in (or break them up) if indeed they ever did gain monopolistic proportions?
I guess I just don't see the point in fretting overly about a company's potential to become something that it's illegal for a company to become. They'll either succeed at gaining too much control and face legal proceedings, or they'll fail, become complacent and be bested by somebody new. Or toe the line and remain a powerhouse in the industry.
Beat them, or bow to them... but fearing what they
may evolve into is a rather futile exercise. *shrug*
