Let's be real it probably will create an uneven playing field just like amazon does. At first it will seem great and then when they have enough data to make sure they can do it without pissing off their users, they'll start squeezing the authors.
I'm baffled by the premise that a platform for people who only have the attention span for 5 seconds of video is somehow selling people books.
