Publishers should be worried, but not because of Amazon's pricing. They should be worried because of what happened in the music industry. When music distribution became primarily digital, the artists fared much better, but the record companies started dying. When book distribution becomes primarily digital (as I think it will), it's the publishers who will suffer. The last thing they want is for authors to no longer need them, so of course they're complaining. IMO, this digital trend is good for both authors and consumers.
