Please don't misunderstand me. I do not think it is their duty to do so. Whatever the reasons behind their monopoly on the ebook market, it can be used to explain their behavior vs. Steam and GOG.
Your use of the word monopoly is totally incorrect in this context. I can only speculate on why Amazon doesn't more widely publicize these price reductions. One would think that even if Amazon did have a true monopoly it would publicise these reductions simply because it wold result in more sales regardless of monopoly status. For agency e-books Amazon doesn't even have control of the selling price. A quite remarkable situation to label an Amazon monopoly.
