After all, there are thousands and thousands of books yet to appreciated and read on Project Gutenberg. Put your money where you mouth is and do something about it.
Actually, the best solution is not to boycott Amazon. People you are forgetting who caused this Agency model to happen... APPLE!!! Apple is at fault. The thing to do is boycott buying of any eBooks from Apple be they via iBooks or as an app. Buy none. Don't even download an eBook from Apple if it is free. Let Apple know that they cannot get away with this and no sales of eBooks would do it. If nobody ever bought another eBook from Apple, Apple would hopefully get the message.
