The destruction of the value of a new release book was the very reason the publishers all went to war against Amazon.
But the fact that Amazon used to sell a very small number of books at a loss is a completely different thing to your assertion that Amazon "willingly takes a loss on every popular book it sells." Can you provide some evidence to support your claim that today Amazon is making a loss on every sale of a popular book?
