You're awfully naive if you think that's the case. The deal today is digital corporations working amongst themselves to keep their prime monopole businesses going without any interference. Apple did a token ebook project, so Amazon didn't look as dominant as it is.
Similar cases exist with Microsoft toying around in mobile OS market. Adobe being given total monopoly and no competition by MS and Apple, in return it's forcing their software to the newest OS'es from those companies, and not competing in areas where they are active. Something must also exist between Apple and Microsoft, seeing how they completely stopped competing in hardware, gaming, and streaming.
