Thank You Matt. Your excellent work has without a doubt contributed to NY State's recognition of the pervasiveness of a monopolist's power abuses on various fronts. Good to know NYC won't be renamed "The Big Amazon".

I opened a small independent bookstore in 1992, a as you can imagine, did reasonably well until Barnes and Noble came to town and double whammy, Amazon hit the World Wide Web. Managed to eke along several more years, but even tho I still buy books, I avoid Amazon, because of my long held belief that they were trying to take over the world!

Great work illuminating this development, Matt. I look forward to seeing how state and local governments, and state and local leaders, force the issue.
