I'm all for competition. If amazon is the best, then more power to them. However if they stifle competition, that's a problem.
From what I have read and my experience, they are stifling competition. For example, I read a persons blog post who said amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site. That's just rotten. Also I have an ebook on amazon and in order to get exposure you have to exclusively sell on amazon. I get why he does these things, but that's just not right.
Amazon isn't a horrible corporation, but I think some of the things they do are anticompetitive and should be changed.
So are they too big? No being big is fine and helps them be more efficient. The real question in my mind is if they are using their size to compete unfairly.
