I agree. Their strategy seems to be to squeeze suppliers, not customers.

Disagree on this one. As Catlady noted in
#11, Amazon has lately made big increases in many general merchandise items of a sort not seen at WalMart. Last year we bought staples like dog food, peanut butter, and laundry detergent from Amazon, with Amazon as the supplier. Not this year.
For publishers, and authors, I suppose this is good. Low Amazon retail prices are an off and on tactic, not a permanent mission.
