Amazon is airing ads for their new Kindle featuring a man and his “husband”. How’s Amazon doing these days?

Amazon is in effect a monopoly. They use strong-arm tactics to force publishers to agree to their prices. They are squeezing other retailers – offering discounts to people who scanned prices in US brick and mortar stores with its smartphone app and then bought the goods on Amazon, using its rivals’ property as a storefront. Borders is out of business, Barnes and Nobel may not be far behind, and never mind the independent bookstores.
