But with agency eBooks, you sell me the eBook at whatever the cost and then I (as the store selling eBooks) am unable to sell for any other cost then what you tell me. I cannot lower the price, I cannot raise the price, I cannot have a sale or offer a discount. I'm stuck with what you tell me is the price.
