Yes, it could - but Google's marketplace is not going to materialize overnight (I don't expect to be able to buy an eBook there for at least a year), and there's time for Amazon to make adjustments, and continue to build market share. Google is not a proven retailer, either. I don't think they have as much skin in the game as Amazon. But it could get interesting if as sometimes rumored they partner up with Apple.

Still, I hope it puts pressure on Amazon to open things up.
