Easy.
The same way electronics retailers only sell through authorized dealers.
Perfectly legal.
Apple even pulled out of Best Buy a while back.
Manufacturers always have the power to pull product away from retailers.
Just as they have the power to set prices.
Try this: bring the Agency model to print books.
If it's good for ebooks, why not print?
They can control distribution.
They choose not to and instead whine about the results.
