Actually, if they had instituted this pricing for ALL books, I wouldn't have loved it and I still would have bought fewer books, but I wouldn't have stopped buying ANY books because it would at least be "fair" (in terms of it being applied to all readers, not just readers who prefer to read digital copies).

In fact independent booksellers are advocating for agency pricing to be extended to all books.
