If the EU succeeds in stopping the agency model of ebook selling -- the result will be that Amazon will not get new release ebooks.
I'm sure that stores that DESIRE to work with the agency model will still be allowed too. So Apple will still get the new release ebooks at the new release price. Amazon will be putting the "was really hot last year" ebooks on sale.
Yeah, of course that's not going to happen. So even if the EU keeps the publishers from mandating the agency selling model, Amazon will CHOOSE it, as it already has.
No one can force the publishers to offer the ebook version for sale at all, let alone during the hard back book pricing window.
