The agency model allows for sales and discounts, it even allows for books to be given away for free. In both the agency and retail model products can be discounted at the option of the seller - the only difference is that the agency model makes the publisher the seller, rather than Amazon (for example).
So yes, they can be discounted - just not by Amazon.
The big change here is that Amazon no longer determines the price of all eBooks (which is what was effectively happening before), now each publisher determines the price of their own eBooks.
