Amazon's market share in both paper and eBooks is much higher than the percent of Amazon revenue coming from books. So from a reader perspective, there's a danger the antitrust action will be based on analysis of bigger dollar items -- everything except literature -- and have a bad effect on same.
From a reader perspective, I don't now see how a broken up Amazon would be an improvement. However, I hope to have an open mind once there are concrete proposals.
As to whether there is some moral value to discussing this here, probably not. But maybe there is. Maybe some idea from here will percolate up to people who will make the antitrust decisions. Stranger things have happened, but don't push me to come up with an example
