I'm not an Amazon gusher either, but I have to say that the articles have been rather one-sided. They are both big companies looking out for themselves. The articles do not reflect that.
Amazon is 10 times the size of Hatchette. So it is one big company and one smaller relatively seen. Of course Amazon will win the fight if they want since they have more money.
