That one isn't speculation. Amazon did set up a Gazelle Project, and there's no dispute I've seen regarding the "“approach these small publishers the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle” Jeff Bezos quote:

Quote:
Third quarter sales at Hachette Book Group USA fell 18.5% in the period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, parent company Lagardere reported. The decline was attributed to difficult comparisons with last year when the company had an “unusually high” number of bestsellers led by The Longest Ride, Lagardere said. The “difficult situation” with Amazon also impacted sales and some titles were delayed because of scheduling issues, Lagardere said.

Pietsch noted that the agreement with Amazon “will be a wonderful boost to the end of the year.”

The Hachette book generally seen as critical of Amazon, The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon, is now available in hardcover, for immediate shipping, at a 46 percent discount. And the Kindle edition of this October 2013 release is selling for the attractive price of US$6.49, the price apparently uninfluenced by MacKenzie Bezos's negative review.

It is quite decent of the company not to, now that the commercial dispute is over, retaliate against this book for its content.

Don't say I never said anything nice about Amazon

Or is it that Hachette set a low price to get out the anti-Amazon message? I don't think that's it, because the ability of Hachette to set its own prices probably is not yet effective.
