Come back when Amazon actually has 100% of the ebook market, thus qualifying as an ebook monopoly.

Your definition of monopoly (100% of market) is NOT the legal definition of monopoly. Whether an entity qualifies as a monopoly is determined by market share plus influence in market. An entity can be a monopolist with only a 40% market share.
When IBM was declared a monopoly, it didn't have 100% of the server market but it had such a dominant position that the market share plus influence it had made it a monopolist.
