I skimmed over all the numbers, but it sounds more like a plea to keep Agency pricing because more people are turning from the mainstream publishers and taking a chance on all the no-names, self-published, and previously published backlist books on Smashwords.

It probably is good for them. It doesn't mean it's good for readers who want established authors' new releases...
