@Fbone. I do believe you are using the wrong word. Amazon is the distributor and publisher. The wholesalers you referred to earlier do not publish books. They get books from other sources and then distribute.
Now as to the comment about SEARS and CRAFTSMAN being a monopoly. That is slightly off. Monopoly applies to the product not the brand name.
Example I can buy a hammer pretty much anywhere. If I want an Estwing, I know you used to couldn't find them at Sears because Sears only sold Craftsman. Not sure now since Sears and Kmart are now one company. Now if I could only buy a hammer at Sears and no where else that would be a monopoly.
It just depends on what brand one wants where one shops.
I mean if I want a Lane Bryant blouse, I won't be looking for it at Target.
