What's your problem? People who don't share your opinion? When you post a polemical piece by some author who believes that he is sticking it to the elites by making a massively biased case in favour of a controversial multi-billion USD company, then you have to accept that this will not be met with universal acclaim.
You'll also have to accept that some irritating foreign voices may disturb your American navel gazing (the world is changing, after all...).
It's quite surprising that some of the bizarre claims of the author aren't challenged here. In 2007 it wasn't obvious that Amazon would basically push every competitor out of the ebook market. It wasn't obvious that Amazon would go to war with its suppliers, either. There are plenty of DRM controlled media in the market (DVDs, Blurays, console games) that see a viable co-existence between hardware and content producers.
