So. Goal-post successfully moved right?
What does any of that have to do with your ridiculous statement of:
"Amazon's 'lose money to buy up market share' campaign." ?
I know that "
make less profit now" doesn't really push your tired narrative as well as the completely misleading "
Amazon's 'lose money to buy up market share' campaign" does, but c'mon; let's try to be just a little bit less disingenuous, huh? Amazon made profits on its ebook sales all along (even during the $9.99 bestseller days). They were never "taking a loss" on ebooks. Ever.
