If suppliers see Amazon as bad business, that is between the two of them, so... why do we care???

Amazon is not abusing their dominant market position, unless you can provide better proof than "Amazon is playing hardball with their suppliers, umm... just like every other business ever to exist... just like Hachette".

Currently, they are merely using their dominant market position. Like all good businesses do. Like Hachette did to get where they are now.
