You don't need a monopoly to have enough power to push around your suppliers.

- dragonwriter 12y agoYou have to have monopoly power to do so by the tactics at issue (limiting consumer availability and manipulating retail prices) since in a market with effective competition that does more to direct sales of the product to competing retailers than to hurt the total volume sold by the publisher.
- jack-r-abbit 12y agoYou just need more loyal customers. My first stop is Amazon. But I would not say I am loyal to Amazon above all else. If I really wanted something and they didn't have it, then I'd move on the next stop. In this case (that book about Amazon) I'd head on over to Barnes & Noble and pay just $0.31 more to order it there. No big deal.
