Amazon did much more than "arrange the meetup" if the cost of the book was paid to Amazon. If Amazon took one penny of profit for that sale, then they are the ones who sold you that book. Otherwise, it would be like a physical store (the retailer) selling you fake merchandise, banking their profit for the sale, then telling you to contact the distributor/wholesaler and washing their hands of the matter.
