On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We wont let them, he says.

This whole mess is basically about duelling supply chain models.
Publishing is made out of pipes. Traditionally the supply chain ran: author -> publisher -> wholesaler -> bookstore -> consumer.

From the point of view of the publishers, from whom they buy, Amazon is a wholesaler.
