Maybe the Publishers could offer their books without DRM and still require Amazon to sell with DRM. So people who are anti-DRM have a reason to shop elsewhere and people who don't care (like me) can shop at Amazon.

Agency pricing in no way precludes publishers from offering discounts on their own sites, if that's what they wish to do.
