What I am saying is, I think the Connect store is benefitting from Kindle's leverage. Amazon leverages the publishers to drop their prices (effectively to all re-sellers). This allows Sony to sell the ebooks for less.

Since Sony is not willing to sell at a loss, often titles are $2-3 more on Connect than on Amazon.
Do we know if this leverage has, in fact, dropped prices to all sellers and not just Amazon?
