That's believable. But Amazon basically declared war on book publishers two weeks ago anyway. It's disappointing that when the publishers (predictably) pushed back that Amazon didn't have something more nuanced than this worked out. I figured going nuclear was part of a scorched earth strategy, "You can die now or later..." sort of thing. From the (admittedly, little) that I understand of the publishing industry, it's fragile enough that there was at least uncertainty in what the result of such would be.
