Note them carefully NOT mentioning "consumers" or "the public" in their list of injured parties.

Anti-trust lawsuits aren't designed to protect companies from competition; they're designed to protect consumers from high prices.

Yes, ABA and B&N, you will get less money. You are not entitled to All The Moneys. If you want more money, you will have to convince the customers--you know, those people who currently own the money you want--that they should spend it on YOU, instead of on your competitors.

Amazon may be a Royal Scumbag Extreme, but if it hasn't broken the law, it gets to have as many customers as it can convince to shop at its store. If you don't like that, feel free to come up with something as useful and comprehensive as Amazon. Or something with better customer service than Amazon. Or something with more bonus features than Amazon.
