How thoughtful of MacMillan to switch to the agency model knowing that it would be bad for their business
It was a move to force Amazon to charge higher prices - nothing more, nothing less.

When Macmillan changed to the agency model we did so knowing we would make less money on our e book business. We made the change to support an open and competitive market for the future, and it worked. We still believe in that future and we still believe the agency model is the only way to get there.
