Letter addressed to Judge Denise L. Cote from Greg Johnson dated 11/1/2012 re: Mr. Johnson objects to the settlement in Texas et al v. Hachette Book Group et al Case No. 12-cv-6625. he objects to the settlement with all parties involved, including Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. Mr. Johnson objects to settlement because he believes that under the terms of the agreement, consumer e-book selling will be unfairly controlled by one retailer, Amazon.com, who presently has 90% of the market in e-books. If he had a competitive retailer market for ebooks. then the agency model may be unfair. But without the agency model the pricing is left to one retailer, who can then further block competition from other retailers and have unreasonable control of the book publishing industry.
