This is all wrong.
This scenario doesn't trigger the clause on Amazon's contact because the publisher is selling the book to the other retailer at the same $7 it is selling to Amazon. The other retailer discounting the book has nothing to do with the publisher.
Now, if Amazon's contract prevents discounting and the publisher allows the other retailer to discount, then that would trigger the clause.
