One idea floated by publishers to settle the case is to preserve the agency model but allow some discounts by booksellers, according to the people familiar with the matter.
I'm trying to figure out how this works...if they say "you can discount The Help for 25%", isn't that still agency pricing? It's like when the agency sets a sale price of 1.99 or 2.99 to get you to buy the first book in the series.
