So, rather than competition the idea is to get the prices HIGHER. I guess the expectation is that the publishers would stop giving Amazon license to sell them and sell them via Google at much higher prices.
I for one do not see this as good for us customers.

but google might take a smaller cut, which is a good thing for them
