The only thing wrong with that argument, DMcCunney, is that if the publishers didn't want ebooks to compete with hardcovers, then they should just not have released the ebook at the same time.
They wanted to have their cake and eat it, too - sell ebooks alongside hardcovers at the same price as hardcovers.
Well, they got their way, but I don't think you can argue pure self-defense against the big bad wolf in this case.
A publishing cartel controlling prices for almost all books published is a far cry from an individual author trying to control the price for their handful, or less, of books.
