I really cannot imagine that skipping discounts is really going to cause a retailer a technical issue.
A retailer's site may only be set to allow a site wide discount and not just on specific publishers. Maybe only specific books but not specific publishers. So really, it could be an issue and it could be why we get less discounts now then before the agency 5.

I, uh, have mentioned that in my opinion, the problem isn't who sets the prices, it's the perception that prices are higher, that is ticking people off right?
It's not a perception. It's a fact. But I do agree that if the prices were set to be reasonable, it would not matter who set them.
