Is Amazon too big?
Should it be broken up like Standard Oil or the old AT&T?

In order to qualify as a monopoly, they would have to be the ONLY retailer left in the entire country and you would have to prove that they jacked up their prices after becoming the only option for buying things.

You can have something that's an effective monopoly, which I do believe Amazon is. There is no retail giant as big as Amazon, not even close. And their walled-garden practices (e.g. Kindle only works with Kindle Store) is a bit unnerving. Amazon has, if I believe correctly, been caught jacking up eBook prices in cohorts with Apple, etc. That's why there was a lawsuit a few years ago.

monopolies can only exist with government help.
Even if a company is the only company doing something, that does not mean it is a monopoly. if it is no vigilant, upstarts can arise quickly to take market share. And this happens often. So government should not be hasty in penalizing companies for being successful.

You don't need to be a monopoly to be subject to anti-trust regulations.
Regulators just need to prove that you are big enough to manipulate prices or single-handedly stamp out competition by threatening the competition's suppliers.

Are you retarded? You do know that Microsoft was broken up for being a monopoly, right?

So deluded
I don't blame you though, you're eating the lies fed to you by the very guys who want unrestricted monopolies.
Turns out the super-rich pour a lot of money into marketing the idea that government is bad and the free market solves everything.
Read some history and go look what the free market did to british india
