Actually, could and couldn't are both correct and can convey the same meaning in the sentence, but you are correct that it might be clearer with couldn't.

In true monopolistic fashion, Amazon has determined that on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being least and 10 most, your interests rate a 2 and Amazon's right to your money and private information rate a 10.

Sadly, Amazon could really do wonders for the publishing world. Although the Kindle doesn't fit my desires or needs, it clearly fits the desires and needs of a lot of people, and Amazon could be pressing publishers to be more open (no DRM) and less costly, all without trying to monopolize -- both horizontally and vertically.
