I wouldn't worry about it. Either one-or-the-other will cave, and the books will be back up at Amazon soon--or Macmillan *will* find another online outlet for its books.
I'm kinda hoping for that option. If a couple of large-ish publishers just aren't available through Amazon, that could be the breakpoint for Amazon's near-monopoly on online bookselling.
I think Amazon's shooting themselves in the foot with this one. Instead of intimidating Macmillan, they're scaring their own customers, who are getting a flash of, "wow... if there's a problem with Amazon, where am I gonna buy stuff?" And Amazon kept its market share by keeping people from ever asking that question.
