I doubt seriously I could convince the justice department of this, even if I was a lawyer.

Exclusive book deals as in selling the exclusive right to distribute? That is covered and allowed under copyright law.
Amazon isn't a distributor. It's a retailer. If only one retailer can sell a book it's obvious that other retailers can't compete. I'm not a lawyer and I wasn't stating a legal case. I was giving my opinion of the situation. Exclusive deals prevent competition, by definition.
