If people can't get their latest Stephen king from Amazon and have to download it from big4books.com that's what they'll do.

Really? Perhaps because if they did that and dared to sell cheaper directly to the customer than via the "useless middleman" Amazon, then Amazon's sugardaddy in the Department of Justice would scream "illegal cartel" again?
Again, if the publishers are so irrelevant, why doesn't Amazon simply do woithout their offerings?
