Amazon took a very unusual step over the weekend. They sent out a letter to their customers, to get them to send nasty e-mails to the CEO of Hachette.
They framed it as amazon fighting for the little guy (you) in it's fight againt the big publishers who want to charge you more money (Hachette), and it actually gave out the e-mail address of Hachette's CEO.
Look, you may believe whatever you want, but if you believe amazon is on the side of the little guy (you), you are living in an alternative universe. Amazon is trying to take over the world.
