Let's just say that when an article starts with a gross inaccuracy like that one (hint, agency pricing hasn't been in place for over two years, so Amazon _has_ been setting prices for the past two years), I tend to be rather skeptical of it. After reading through it, it seems to me that the whole article can be summed up with the phrase "Amazon knows best". While I'm sure Amazon knows what's best for Amazon, I'm not so sure that Amazon knows or cares what is best for everyone else in the mix.
