Simon & Schuster used to sell ebooks on their site. Pretty great as it was usually 30% (or was it 35%?) off the list price. They used to have the best prices on their own titles. Too bad they switched to agency pricing.

*sigh* Isn't agency pricing a form of price fixing? I've always wondered, is that even legal?
