I can't speak for stonetools, but:
• Amazon is pursuing its own interests (e.g. monopolizing ebooks; generating profits; staying in business)
• Publishers are pursuing their own interests (e.g. preventing an Amazon monopoly; generating profits; staying in business)
• Consumers are pursuing their own interests (e.g. demanding lower prices, regardless of how it affects the retailers, publishers and authors)
It sounds to me like ST is saying that
no one is "more honorable" than anyone else. Everyone is pursuing their own agendas.
