And yet, back in the day when the major options were Amazon or Sony, posters on MR routinely vilified Amazon as the Big Bad.
The ebook market at that point was still very small, and growing. They also knew that Google was getting into the market, and likely suspected that Apple was as well.
I.e. they were not in a position to start throwing their weight around.
