I definitely wasn't putting Amazon on a pedestal. Though I have always experienced them as a very customer oriented company. But I was comparing them favorably to the price collusion under the agency model we have now.

I disagree. If Amazon had supported multiple formats, that would prove they weren't interested in a monopoly. Trying to push a proprietary format seems more of an issue-at least that's been the argument against Apple in the past.
