Looks like Amazon.com claims another victim. In a previous era, where gov't actually stood for the will of the people, and not just a tool of the mega-corporations, amazon.com's tactics would have been grounds for lawsuits by the FTC, under predatory competition laws.
But Amazon.com is the current administration's darling, losing millions of dollars a day selling under cost, and putting millions of other smaller businesses out of work.
The ultimate goal, of course, is one ultimate over-arching megacorp that is the only centralized location to buy anything, especially books. "They" want control over information flow, and how better to censor, under the illusion of a "free market", than to simply not offer those books for sale, and once Amazon.com gets there way, there will be no alternative sources.
So, shed a tear for geeks.com, and DONT PATRONIZE AMAZON.COM. I've stopped, you should too.
