And absolute price ranges are usually more flexible than a buyer states. Especially when something as good as the PRS-650 is available.

?? You know I've lost more books with these independent retailer than I've had with Amazon.
At lease when Amazon pulled the books they issued a refund. Not the case with these small retailers. I've lost plenty of books to these retailers w/o any refund.
BooksOnBoard implements a x number of downloads then disables any further download.
These small retailers are at the mercy of the publishers and are easily manipulated by them. Amazon at least has some clout to push back.
Don't fall under the illusion that Adobe DRM is better than Kindle, anything that has DRM is just bad and there is no better solution than another they are all just as bad. And the Agency 5 had done a great job in killing a competitive market by forcing everyone to price the books the same.
