Without Random House, Simon & Schuster, and the rest of the Agency 6, Amazon would have a major problem in the book business, especially if other ebooksellers had the books. All the publishers lack is the backbone to do it; if they did it, they'd beat Amazon, which would have a difficult time replacing those books. Rembember the battle with Macmillan. Amazon caved.
