Higher or equal to, which explains why so many indie authored books are $2.99. Interesting. I guess Amazon does fine either way. I've never had anything against Amazon, but the drive for retail exclusivity of literary works doesn't sit well with me. Whether it makes sense from a business point of view, I'm not qualified to debate other than a bit of guesswork.
Another thing is: how high was Amazon's bid? Was it just a bit higher, or a
crap ton higher in order to compensate for the exclusivity?
Anyway, this put the book in the hands of the Big Six and Agency Pricing, so I can't imagine many people here cheering for either side.
