Not at all true. In most cases, it's the distributors who are making the obscene profits in the book industry, while most retailers are forced to buy books at the same prices that they bought books in the past. I understand the frustration directed towards retailers, but except for the rare cases where a bookstore is buying the book directly from American publishers (usually not an option), booksellers don't really profit from the situation at all.
