Amazon is a TRILLION dollar company with 230 billion in Revenue and over 10 billion in Profits. Bezos himself is worth over 100 billion dollars. Amazon is a technology leader.

I normally am not a "wealth-hater" or whatever you want to call it, but Amazon (and Bezos personally) are on a whole different level. This is NOT a cash-strapped mom-and-pop struggling to understand a complex marketplace. This is a company so large it created and controls the marketplace. Depending on the day, this could be the most valuable company in the world and Bezos is the richest person on the planet. There are few, if any, companies with more skills, knowledge and resources.

The magnitude of the existing wealth in comparison to the relative pittance it would cost to put a stop to this it what makes it so shameful.

Yeah. TBH I just want them to do business properly, you know, just give us regular quality books. I don't think I'm asking for a lot.

My local Chapters (A Canadian bookstore) closed door a few years ago, and some second-hand shops also closed their doors since then.
