Although it probably helps with the New York media that regularly confuses the Amazon Publishing imprint with the whole operation.
The vitriol would probably run an order of magnitude higher if the "anything but Amazon" crowd realized how little the boycott has affected the non-NYC parts of APub. All they've done is funnel APub sales to Amazon.com and Kindle so Amazon LLC gets both the publisher and retailer cuts.
(The books are available to all retailers but B&N organized a boycott right away that the ABA heartily endorsed. Borderline illegal but Amazon doesn't care. The new store might be part of Amazon's reaction to the boycott. Hencecmy interest in knowing how those books are handled.)
