I'm still having a hard time to see how the Agency model benefits the end customer. This is a hard sell that hasn't gone well for the publishers.

And the Agency 5 are no longer sold in Mobipocket format. So if that's your format of choice and you do not strip DRM/format convert, you are well and truly screwed. How is this Agency model good for the consumer? None of the arguments in favor of it make any sense and are in fact just a load of BS.
