Unfortunately we live in a country whose antitrust laws are written to protect, you know, the customer - who, before Amazon, was getting hosed on book prices and only had access to books anointed as worthy by booksellers...if they were lucky enough to live close to one.https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1071134666869084161 …
@dhh You’re missing the forest for the trees. The producer harm to authors and publishers (vs. immediate consumer benefit) ultimately suppresses the quality and variety of books available. Same with any other monopoly with predatory pricing.
I hate being able to find ANY IMAGINABLE BOOK I COULD EVER WANT TO READ. It’s the gravest of injustices and it must be stopped!

h/t Nailed it. I’m a big fan of @dhh when it comes to company culture... but as an Amazon customer, I’m delighted to contribute to their book “monopoly”. The benefits are fantastic.
