I am one who deleted my data from GR. I do not "hate" Amazon. I did not do reviews but did rate what I read. I usually only get $0.00 e-books from them. I think I spent a grand total of $30.00 or less last year.
My issue was the monopoly that is being formed. When they are the only one who publishes, reviews, and sells we will have a big problem. I seem to remember my history about other monopolies that took all the money and stopped competition. Amazon may do things well, but in the end I see us all losing if it continues to grow unchecked. My father was part of the breakup of AT&T and the Bell's. I remember, I wonder if it is going to happen again with Amazon.
