I think two inconvenient factors are being ignored. One, sufficient collective action by those who deplore Amazon’s practices just might have an effect. Yep, it’s not much on the individual level, but it’s like voting; it’s what you can do and it matters in the aggregate. And there is a moral component to supporting heinous practices and complaining about them.

And two, so what if some books are unavailable elsewhere? I’m a broken record on this (do kids these days know where that came from?). Read something else. There are a lot of books out there, you’ll never be able to read everything, books are not a life saving drug, etc, etc.

ETA: Oh, and I can’t resist a third. You agree to use limitations when you buy from Amazon, but then complain about them? Amazon’s got the moral high ground here, doing what it can to enforce the terms of something the buyer agreed to!
