Is there any plausible explanation for why Amazon has not yet jacked up prices and cashed in on its diabolical plan to dominate all commerce? Even the most vocal critics can't stop shopping at the "malignant monopoly." Surely by now they have achieved a critical mass of market penetration. Amazon has been aggressively pleasing customers from the start, and the predicted disasters always seem to recede into the future.Amazon can do whatever it wants and both consumers and publishers will have to give in.
May I request a bit of nuance here?
