And you have proof that Amazon was attempting to drive out competition? Because you do know that loss-leader pricing has been going on for a long time in the retail industry, long before Amazon existed. The publishers tried very hard to demonize Amazon and failed. And yet here we still are with sly accusations of monopolization.
