If they do more then consider it, Amazon’s monopoly power is reduced.
Regarding AI books, I think it in Amazon’s interest to stop selling them. And I think they have more technical ability to write AI detection software than small successors. Left alone, Amazon will fix the issue.
Without seeing a breakup plan, one can’t say, without great uncertainty, what an anti-trust Amazon breakup means to indie authors.
Suppose the breakup meant that Amazon.com could only sell books published by traditional publishers, and that SonOfAmazon.com only sells indie books. I’m guessing that this would hurt indie. But there are other ways to break up the company.
