Not according to the Executives of the Big Six themselves. Their problem with the $9.99 new release (in their words) was never that they weren't making enough money. In fact, they made more money per book under the old contracts pre-Agency pricing. We heard over and over that their problem with the $9.99 price was that it "devalued public perception of the worth of a book."
and now here you are suggesting that they turn right around and sell at low prices again. Hey, I'm all for it. I liked those $9.99 books.

Yep. I'd put my money on the Big 6 being more attractive than Amazon could possibly be without the books from the Big 6.

I'd take that bet. In fact, I'd take that bet today. The fastest growing segment in the book industry today is the low priced eBook from unknown or barely known authors.
