Myself, I don't care who sets the price or how they set it: eBook prices could be set by monkeys rolling dice in Katmandu for all I care.
What I do care about is how closely the price approaches what I think the eBook is worth to me. The closer it is, the more likely I am to buy it. I don't buy high priced eBooks - but I also don't expect paperback or lower prices for eBooks if the book's still in hardcover.
Given the way prices have risen, I haven't bought a lot of books lately - and I barely have time to keep up with the freebies - but when I do buy one, the question of whether it's sold according to the retail or agency model doesn't enter the equation.
