What's your point?
The point is that Amazon is a major player in the bookmarket. Sony isn't.

But to get back to the question the OP asked, what if it hadn't been Amazon, but Microsoft?

I can remember the problems MS had when they shipped Mediaplayer (at least I think it was mediaplayer) with Windows (even though it was free, it had to be removed...)
