Publicly traded companies are not private businesses. Especially when they hold monopoly power.

Publicly traded companies are private property held by members of the public who are private citizens, so even if they are a monopoly it doesn't really matter, because then they should be broken up, and they will still have the agency to choose which books to sell.

And the agency to decide who should be punished for reading books they choose not to sell, right Mr. Slippery Slope?

How would Amazon legally punish a private citizen for reading a book that Amazon has decided not to sell?

They won’t legally do anything. And they won’t be punished for illegal activities because they are owned by an oligarch. Legality doesn’t matter for the elite caste of the world.
