No more talk please of why small retailers would do better going up against Amazon without agency pricing. THEY don't see it that way and never have.

That's ludicrous.
The ability to create their own unique discount systems (Fictionwise's Micropay for instance) was one of the only things that small ebook-only retailers had going for them. They could reward their loyal customers with special discounts to keep them coming back. Agency pricing took that ability away from them (and others like them) and it gutted their business. They simply can't compete selling agency published books anymore without those loyalty discount systems. So they don't sell agency books anymore. So no more talk please of how agency pricing was all unicorns and rainbows for everyone
except Amazon. Agency pricing threw a lot of babies out with the bathwater.
