Not to you, but maybe to Jeff Bezos. Otherwise, why is he still selling any Hachette books, other than those (ghost)written by politicians? When in dispute with Apple, Amazon doesn't keep on selling Apple products (except through third-party vendors). So why the kinder treatment of big publishing?

Bezos won't go too far. And not just because he feels it would be wrong, but also because he likes to buy the company of top major publishers authors for his annual Campfire shindig. I know he did invite indie author Hugh Howey, even after Howey said he didn't want to go. This could be the exception that proves the rule concerning who is getting special treatment. I wish someone would leak the 2014 Campfire invite list.
