Of course, Amazon is also famous for long-term thinking.
The authors in question are thinking long term...but with blinders permenantly welded on and surgically attatched so they never (at any point whatsoever) have to see the escalating rate of independant writers with day jobs carving into the pie nor consider the implications of that.
