Amazon has requested a US judge to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed by independent authors accusing the e-commerce giant of monopolizing the retail market for audiobooks.

Author Christine DeMaio is among those who claim that Amazon violates US antitrust law by imposing higher fees on writers who do not participate in Audible's exclusivity program.
