The truth finally gets mentioned. In all the reading I've done concerning book prices (pBook or eBook) the same mantra seems to be repeated over and over by everyone - publishers, authors, commenters - the publishers need more money to support their authors. Bull. The publishers don't give a damn about their authors and don't care if they make money or not. They care if THEY make money, and the more they can get, the better they like it.
GREED = the real reason behind the agency pricing model. Period. It amounts to price fixing and borders on violating anti-trust laws in the US and the European Union competition law (IMO).
