That doesn't make Amazon the good guys in this. What people seem to be missing is just because someone wants you to pay more money for something does not make them automatically evil.

And what you're missing is that we /all/ care about the bottom line: authors, publishers, retailers, and consumers.
But what many tend to forget is that, without consumers, the rest of them don't /have/ a bottom line.
The only entity behaving in anyway that even remotely resembles a nodding acquaintence with this fact is Amazon. Regardless of the reality of the situation, the /perception/ is that Amazon is taking a consumer-friendly stance.
And frankly, perception is reality. If you think otherwise, ask a politician.
