> Amazon was, and is, the monopolist using classic monopolist tactics (lock-in, undercutting prices, etc.) to retain a monopoly. 1. Being a monopoly isn't illegal. You don't say this, but using the word monopolist makes it seem like you think that such a thing alone is criminal enough. 2. Lock-In? What part is the lock in? The fact that I can buy a Kindle and never purchase anything from Amazon? The fact that the DRM used for ebooks from Amazon are optional and decided by the publisher? 3. Undercutting prices? So?
