Of course it's opinion. I never claimed any indepth knowledge or facts. I said I believe he's right. Still do. With the exception of those here at MobileRead and similar sites, I sincerely believe that the vast majority of Kindle owners make their purchases without comparing prices--either to other book stores or to the physical books. I believe the vast majority don't know who published their book, let alone have a clue exactly what Agency Pricing is. They buy 'em, read 'em and never give them a second thought.

That's an opinion. Agree with it or don't, but I don't think opinions are against any rules yet... especially when the wording clearly identifies them as opinions.

Yep. I was one of those hell-raisers. Still am.
