The proposed solution to market monopolisation by Amazon seems to boil down to the old refrain, "design better markets", with a lament for the innovation and freedom of the old anarchistic (i.e. unregulated) web. It's a touch ironic but nevertheless predictable, an old problem wrapped us as a new one, making me wonder: why the book will be all that interesting? Large publishers have forced DRM and squeezed authors in other media markets such as music or TV and film, protecting their monopolies on distribution and consequent power to market-make. What is new?
