I don't worry about things like that. The notion that Amazon could wipe out all other online retail competition and then charge whatever they want seems a bit fantastical to me. They haven't even been able to wipe out all ebook competition, so cornering the online retail market doesn't really seem very likely to me. Plus I don't really care. I don't buy what I can't afford. And my Amazon expenditures are over 90% wants, very little needs.
