>I did read it, actually, poor as it was. And I stand by my statement, because in addition to Chinese knock-offs I can also buy online storage and VPS from any number of vendors, and Amazon need never get near my credit card number.
When Microsoft was declared abusing its monopoly status, you could buy 100 different OSes from different vendors if you cared to, too.
Monopoly (abusing or not) is not about being able to buy stuff elsewhere, it's about what percentage of a market an entity has.
