I think I'm missing your point somewhere along the road here. If Amazon bought the world-wide rights for ebook distribution of the latest blockbuster by a previously Macmillan-only author and sold it at $9.99, I suspect they'd be quite happy for MacMillan to sell paper editions for an enforced higher price.
