Again, Amazon has done everything by the books, aboveboard and legal. In doing so, they have simply proven to be better at business than the publishers. In what way is that wrong or evil or in any way even remotely objectionable? |
Squeezing five extra bucks out of Hachette may be a very costly extra profit if regulators start seeing Amazon as a company that abuses a dominant market position or suppliers start to see doing business with Amazon as bad business.
