Yep, Amazon still sells, and it didn't really get hurt.

Small ebook sellers are out of business, however.

Because Apple's most favorite nation deal and uniform pricing removed all incentives for consumers to shop outside of their hardware ecosystems.

If the prices are the same, why go through the hassle of going to a small etailer? Get it?

There were ebook price comparison sites before Apple rigged the market. If my memory serves me, one was started by a member her. They all went bust....
