They have been in a position to abuse their market power for five years, now, thanks to the conspiracy.
They haven't.
Even the gold-plated idiots admit they stay on the safe side of the line. Probably because they have good lawyers and *listen* to them.
The biggest danger for Amazon in legal issues is probably KU.
To work as a discovery tool, KU requires exclusivity and keeping the BPHs out of it. So far, the BPHs have obliged.
But if KU grows much bigger and the alternatives keep underperforming Amazon may end up with a real problem on their hands.
