My problem with agency pricing is that the e-book is often more or close to the price of a discounted paper back. (I only rarely bought hardbacks).

I have the mental roadblock where the e-book needs to be at least $1 less than what I can get for new paper (which I can share and pass along).

As a result, my buying of current agency books is way down (from a few a week to maybe one a month). Unless its a "must-read" for me, I just wait to see if it shows up at the library (or there is a price drop).

But clearly I am not the mass market who seem to have accepted the model. (And to be honest, if I hadn't been an early adopter, I may have as well)
