Surely Amazon pay the publishers for the right to distribute these books, and I assume that this amount is agreed up front. Setting aside the hardback sales,which I get (I might not totally agree with it but I get it) and concentrating on paperback sales the Publisher/Author doesn't get any more money whether the book is sold for £3 or £13, so why should the publisher have the right to tell them what to sell the ebook for when they can't tell them what to sell the Pbook for: example
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
ebook price £6.49
pbook official price £7.99
pbook sold by Amazon £3.99
not that it matters to me I paid £2.76 when I first got my Kindle, I enjoyed it but the only reason I bought it was the price, I wouldn't have bought it at £6.49, I might have bought it secondhand, or not at all, publisher/author wouldn't have got any of my money then.
