But in the case of Amazon, and I assume the others too, they are able to discount those books if they choose to do so (I've seen it happen - a 74p Indie book discounted to 49p by Amazon for a few weeks!) but they are not allowed to do that with the Agency publishers. So no, I'm not boycotting the Indies only the big 5 and their imprints.

Edit: and it's not about the price... I didn't mind paying £8 something a few months back for a Naguib Mahfouz ebook from a non-agency publisher, on the other hand there was a promotional freebie that might just have interested me but that I didn't download because it was from an agency publisher
