As long as the big publishers keep trying to steer readers away from ebooks and to print, Amazon will keep on feasting because most of their biggest challengers in ebooks(Apple, Kobo, Google) don't sell pbooks.
The big publishers keep trying to limit the adoption of ebooks to "reduce Amazon's power" but instead they keep hurting Amazon's competitors and giving Amazon even more power.
