Short term, Hachette. Long term, not sure. If it sets the stage for Amazon customers learning they have to shop multiple sources to find what they want, and motivates Hachette to develop those other sources, and if that in turn makes other publisher's follow the example, then perhaps it will be a watershed moment of BPHs adapting, and mega-retailers losing some power.
