One of the reasons I started reading eBooks was because there were cheaper then the pBook. I don't buy hardcovers. So by pricing the eBook at $9.99, the publisher & author(s) get more money then if I wait until the MMPB is out and the price drops. With the agency model, I don't pay $12.99 or $14.99 for an eBook. So if I wait until the price maybe drops when the MMPB comes out, they lose money. The agency model is as stupid as it gets.
