Good one.

Reminds me of this:

In a 2012 presentation, Mr. Johnson, then still Penney's CEO, said the company was selling fewer than one out of every 500 items at full price.

No one said they are evil.*

Do they treat their employees as well as Google, Costco, and Overstock.com?

No.

Do I often want to read the books they publish?

Taste vary, but not me personally.

Do I think their having a big market share is good for literature?

Nope. Too much risk they will use their market power to squeeze the publishers who release most of the books I like reading.

Are they evil?

No.
