I get the sense that I'm in the minority being skeptical or outright hostile towards Amazon because I'd rather have a market with competition between retailers and publishers than feel vindicated buying half price gnip gnops. But think model seems so toxic to the publishing world I don't know how anyone can see Amazon as a friend to readers simply due to their pricing.
Also, between Amazon Echo and his manical cackle, how do more people not realize that Jeff Bezos is batshit insane?
