Macmillan's pricing department doesn't agree with you, since their digital list price on most books that have been out in paperback for years is $14, with spikes as high as $30. We'll see how well this works out for them if they try to keep those price levels once the new price-fixing agreement is in place.

Amazon shows the digital MSRP, and generally buys at 50% of list, so you can make a reasonable guess as to whether or not a book is selling at a loss.
