This is what makes sense...

Because of the lawsuit, S&S is having to stop agency pricing. So, because of this, shops like BooksOnBoard can discount Star Trek eBooks. But books like Reap the Whirlwind are available in print only as print-on-demand at a higher price. So making the prices close to the print version (which in this case is print-on-demand), S&S gets to raise the eBook price without doing anything that gets them in trouble with the Department of Justice. It's sleazy and unethical, but it's legal.
