independent booksellers The Book House, Posman Books, and Fiction Addiction are suing Amazon and the "Big Six" publishers consisting of Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin, Random House, and Simon & Schuster. The suit accuses the seven companies of monopolizing the ebook market by selling titles encumbered by draconian digital rights management and the seeming unwillingness to enter into agreements with smaller bookstore chains or groups have limited consumers' choices and barred independents from successfully entering the ebook market.
