You say "damage". I say "adjusting to the 21st century".

and nobody can come close to competing.

The BWMs for example have done everything they could to prevent businesses from competing with Amazon.

I do find it interesting that those who denied the anti-competitive nature of Amazon's business are now defending the lack of competition in this space in the US to ebooks being a niche market. We have competition that compares to the rest of the world in every other manner of electronics...but for ebook readers...we don't.
But don't blame Amazon. Never blame Amazon.

Amazon has done nothing to promote anti-competitiveness.
The fact that Amazon does not have a lot of competition is not and has never been their fault.
I am not sure what you are getting at.
As for "defending the lack of competition" -- can we agree to talk about
either ebooks
or ereaders?
There is essentially no competition (or "innovation" as the title of this thread put it) when it comes to ereaders. There are several competing ereader brands, but they all compete on the storefront and the ebooks.
There is competition when it comes to ebooks. A nice chunk of that is in the tablet ereader market.
