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.
That's not for us to decide. It may not even matter that much once a company gets into the cross-hairs of anti-trust authorities.
Even if US authorities share your view, it doesn't mean that European authorities will do the same. A company that pays almost no taxes and mainly creates badly paid jobs with frequent labour disputes has few friends.
