I love this part:
Quote:
The most basic way Amazon manipulates a specific reader is to “price discriminate” by offering discounts and promotions that may lead a particular reader to buy one book and not another.
Next thing you know, this new, nefarious scheme will catch on with other retailers. Maybe they'll start putting certain products on "sale." Then they might go so far as to "advertise" these "sale" products using periodicals, direct mail, coupons, pop ups, sidebars, or TV.
How do we stop it?

Yeah, they complain that Amazon discounts books they think will sell well, to the detriment of their books because the publishers they chose to sign with don't want to discount.
Discounting is evil! Please save the world from discounting, DOJ!!
Hmm, before this I only suspected Indies were eating the AU'S lunch.
Now I know it.
