If you'd have stopped there, you'd have been right. There is nothing about agency pricing that is going to allow the publishers to set prices beyond what the market will bear. It is not price competition between different online stores that limits what publishers can charge. It is the competition from the physical books, used books, library and every other form of entertainment that limits what publishers can charge. Well, that and the desirability of their product.
