Big Tech in so many cases. And Google has just reminded us with its appalling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/5\/6\/23060387\/amazon-google-android-kindle-ebook-play-store\">ban<\/a> on Android reading apps that don\u2019t use Google\u2019s payment system.

The feds should outlaw tech companies\u2019 bans on apps for other commercial reasons. I could not find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overdrive.com\/apps\/libby\">OverDrive\u2019s popular Libby library app<\/a> when I searched just now in the Amazon store. Workarounds do exist, such as getting the Google Play Store going on your Fire, but the average consumer will not want to mess with them. You can send books from Libby to your Fire. But that\u2019s not the same as an all-in-one approach. In the past OverDrive told me Amazon was evaluating Libby. However, that was many many months ago. Still going on? Why? Now here\u2019s another example. The Fire tablets won\u2019t run <a href=\"https:\/\/moondownload.com\/\">Moon+ Reader Pro<\/a> bought from the Amazon app store, or least mine wouldn\u2019t when I tried in the past. Amazon perhaps fears it\u2019s a better reader, for many consumers, than the Kindle app is. Moon+ Reader Pro offers far-superior control over the typography onscreen, and add-ons can provide text to speech with better voice options than the Fire offers. Alas, Moon won\u2019t run DRMed files from Amazon or other vendors. But Point #4 addresses that issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Ebooks and related tech should be truly interoperable in bookstores above a certain size. That means the required use of ePub and open PDF as at least options for consumers. Stores could still use proprietary formats and keep them around for owners of older devices.<\/p>\n<p>3. <em>In a related vein:<\/em> E Ink devices and other book-dedicated hardware should at least be able to read ePub, a well-established industry standard. Granted, Amazon says it will let consumers send in ePub for conversion to a Kindle format. Not good enough!<\/p>\n<p>4. DRM if used should be nonproprietary, and ideally stores instead can be encouraged to use something more consumer-friendly like watermarking. Maybe regulators could restrict DRM in larger stores to a certain percentage of titles. I want to be able to use Moon+ Reader Pro on the usual bestsellers, which watermarking would allow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Publishers and authors should have access to click-through information on first-chapter links on Amazon and other stores above a certain size. Perhaps the feds should require release of other marketing information as well. Consumers would benefit from books more responsive to their wants and needs.<\/p>\n<p>6. Search engines in online bookstores should be required to pull up a book, audiobook or other item if the reader types out the main title. Yes, readers can theoretically enter other information like an author\u2019s name. But in real life they don\u2019t. This additional barrier can harm small publishers and self-publishers. I know about the problem first hand. Apple\u2019s only excuse to me\u2014for keeping my recent ebook from appearing in main title-based searches even when the audiobook did\u2014was that this was \u201cstandard practice.\u201d I\u2019m 1,000 percent of favor of more transparency of algorithms that the big stores use. <\/p>\n<p>No, my list is not complete, but it\u2019s a start. Just remember one of the traditional criteria for anti-trust cases\u2014harm to consumers. The ebook business abounds with it. Same for harm to authors, small business people.<\/p>\n<p>Let me say I believe in flexibility. I\u2019m all in favor of giving tech companies and others a break if they can prove that certain practices actually benefit consumers through scale of services or otherwise. I\u2019d agree with Roosevelt that a role exists for big business. The problem is that the regulators in practice have often been far too accommodating. <\/p>\n<p>I can pass on some good news. The FTC and U.S. Justice Department have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/news-events\/events\/2022\/05\/ftc-justice-department-listening-forum-firsthand-effects-mergers-acquisitions-technology\">taking a new interest<\/a> in the woes of people \u201cwho have experienced firsthand the effects of mergers and acquisitions.\u201d The investigators want to go \u201cbeyond antitrust experts, including consumers, workers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, farmers, investors, and independent businesses.\u201d See <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorow.medium.com\/at-the-ftc-a-quiet-profound-shift-on-antitrust-a41d0ae5d8bb\">Cory Doctor\u2019s commentary in Medium<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the EU has been toughening its stand against tech monopolies\u2019 abuses (<a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/search?q=eu%20google%20antitrust&amp;hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/search?q=eu%20google&amp;hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now\u2014your own thoughts? What anti-trust targets should be in the crosshairs?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I know it\u2019s an election year in the United States. But methinks that most voters would <em>welcome<\/em> well-crafted anti-trust legislation and enforcement. Again, the idea isn\u2019t to harass big business for the sheer joy of it, but instead come up with thoughtful full-strength consumer protection in situations begging for this. Time for Washington to take on Big Tech in a fair-minded, nonpartisan way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note:<\/em> Yes, libraries are suffering in another way, through all the mergers that have taken place. Big publishers are charging libraries too much for ebooks or, in some cases, not making them available to libraries at all. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2870\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only\" data-element-id=\"2870\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewbox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dev95.site\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most fearsome anti-trusters was Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican president who jousted with the oil companies.
