If Amazon consolidates its power in the publishing industry, what would become of a book criticizing Amazon? It would be published as a simple PDF or mobile-friendly ebook format on the open web. Or, you know, just blogged. Or sold as an app on iOS and Android. Or sold by Pragmatic Publishers, or O'Reilly, or any of the other similar small publishers that will soon be all over the landscape, particularly in the all-electronic publishing era. Or sold by Barnes and Noble. Does anybody remember Barnes and Noble? Who knows, maybe Facebook or Google will start an e-publishing arm. Wouldn't be too difficult. One shouldn't minimize Amazon's mighty marketing power, or their mighty infrastructure, or their customer goodwill, or their good hardware, or the extent to which they have a good eye in a market where everyone else is blind. And these things are going to continue to give them a mighty share of the publishing industry, because writers and vendors go where the money is. But they don't have a monopoly, and I don't see how they have an incipient monopoly, because publishing text is so easy that it literally can't be stopped by major governments.
