One of the neat things about ebooks, and digital/digitally printed physical goods is that there does not need to be any more retailers.
It feels like you're talking about first sale rights? Or something similar?
Are companies like Amazon still ordering ebooks from publishers at set prices? Rather than just acting as a marketing facade? I can't imagine that's occuring, what are you talking about?
