Last I heard "bullying" is about intimidating people and forcing them to do what you say.

I don't see how refusing to kowtow to other people's magical annointed standard falls within that definition. Amazon has been doing its thing since before there was an epub and letting customers vote their wallets.

(And, technically, Bezos offered to license Kindle DRM back circa 2009-10. Nobody stepped up, presumably because doing so requires supporting Whispernet and letting Amazon control the customer relationship. Which is why Amazon won't kneel before Zod....er, Adobe.)
