Bloomberg: Amazon faces a probe into its e-book contracts with publishers as European Union antitrust commissioner Margrethe Vestager added to her growing list of fights with U.S. tech companies. EU regulators said the world’s biggest online retailer may be squeezing out rival distributors of e-books by insisting that publishers can’t give them better terms. “We’re not actually targeting U.S. companies — we don’t have a geographic bias,” Vestager said. “This just reflects that there are many strong companies in the U.S. that influence the digital market elsewhere.”
