Choosing your price point is not a boycott, it's simple market forces at work.

And that is all we really want, books available to all of us at prices we consider to be reasonable.
Why would they fix prices and stifle competition if not to push prices up? Everything else makes no sense. The only reason for such illegal practices is to get higher prices. If their price fixing leads to a low price I won't object.
