Of course. Just as the Big 5 publishers can refuse to do business with Amazon. But if it's suicide to not use a particular vendor...as it is with trying to sell books without Amazon...then Amazon has "monopoly powers" -- which it clearly does.
Which is why folks were warning about Amazon's predatory pricing.
Now there is precious little competition left.
I like Amazon as a customer...been a Prime subscriber for years. But I've always thought they were anti-competitive with how they built their ebook business
