From what I was seeing, the non-agency folks did a LOT better than the cartel. And in my area, a LOT of non-techie ebook readers are aware of the high prices and don't like it. Combine that with the fact that in some cases the cartel broke the promise to drop prices when pbook is released, and I think this will be an interesting year for them.
