the publishers I think are their own worst enemy. People want to buy the ebooks but they just won't sell them and the geographic restrictions are ridiculous for online content.
I also don't think amazon is going to get a complete monopoly. But still 75-85% of the market is a big chunk and I still think it has a lot of influence. The Agency model only came about because of Amazon's pricing strategy.
As for my statement about variety. If they are removing fiction ebooks that contain adult consensual incest then that's one type of book I'll have to look elsewhere to find a copy. But in all honesty, I don't buy ebooks from Amazon because I have a Sony. My main store is Books on Board and Baen.
Right now I'm just irked about the principle of the thing. If I had known people were publishing adult incest type stories...I'd be tempted to try them out, though in all honesty I think I prefer the Flowers in the Attic type stories vs erotica. I like plot with the sex. Though I have heard some erotic stories have both...
I mostly stick to reading fan fiction because in fandom the shipper wars are worse than the kink wars.
