Kindle accessory maker sues Amazon for extortion

. M-Edge Accessories has filed a lawsuit against Amazon with a federal court in Maryland that accuses the online retailer of bullying it into coughing up higher commissions in exchange for better placement on Amazon's website. M-Edge Accessories isn't just filing a suit for extortion according to The Wall Street Journal, however - the accessory maker is also accusing Amazon of patent infringement, false advertising, creating unfair competition and hampering M-Edge's customer relations.
