I don't think Amazon is in a position to decree an end to what you refer to as Lexus type books. The question will be whether Hachette is still prepared to produce these books. The answer, of course, is that if there is a sufficient market for them, they will survive. They will also survive if Hachette sees sufficient business advantage in publishing them irrespective of market. I don't pretend to know what will happen, but I do know I would not mourn the passing of these books if they can't survive.
