I have a couple of doubts about the current situation.
The first is that the Agency 5 books cost the same, don't they? Don't the Agency 5 new best seller eBooks all cost $12? That sounds like collusion to me.
The second is that if I am dissatisfied, currently my recourse is to go to Amazon. But with an agent (think of a realtor for example), I should be going back to the publisher. I'll have to think that through, but my first impression is that Amazon does not behave like an agent just because it is allowing the publisher to set the price.
PS - When you buy a house, you make the check out to the seller. But when you buy an Agency 5 eBook, your credit card is charged to Amazon, not the publisher.
