The idea of MSRP is archaic. Amazon is a marketing facade, connecting readers to authors, with some webstorage and a few algorithms for recommending content. Prices, these are set by the creator. And if you are of the opinion that publishers "sell" books to Amazon, allowing Amazon to resell these books, then where are these first sale rights for the rest of us?
