That sounds pretty terrible but I'm not sure if it relates to Amazon being a monopoly in the usual sense. Ford motor company is huge and may have, for all I know, abusive practices towards it's suppliers. But Ford is certainly in the oligopoly, not monopoly category. Ford could be absolutely the only game in town for a given small or medium sized company but this doesn't mean Ford controls markets on the supplier end, which I believe is the measure of monopoly control.
