Not to beat a dead horse -- or even to defend Amazon, for that matter -- but the price of most bestselling ebooks just aren't up to Amazon anymore. They're being forced to make a larger profit on ebooks by the Agency Pricing Model.
I agree with many here, that regardless of how this plays out... the author will be the one who pays. Customers, publishers and ebook retailers will keep chugging along relatively unaffected.
