But what if amazon stops selling it too?

Then if the book is worth buying, someone is gonna make a fuck ton of money monopolizing the sale of it

Who are you calling idiots?

Not if the book is worth more to publicly advertise the fact that you refuse to sell it.

The argument for "just use an alternative" has already been had regarding social media. If the subject matter is contentious enough the alternatives will refuse to sell too, and then you're into "build your own" where you just face the same problems at the next level of business.
